LIST  OF  1]00KS  FOR  IIIOU  SCHOOLS. 


Tlie  followinc:  list  coiilaiiis  wliaL  are  believed  to  be  the  most 
representative  and  best  books  for  High  School  libraries.  Only 
such  books  have  been  placed  on  the  list  as  are  believed  to  be  of 
interest  and  value  to  average  high  school  ])npils.  The  list  is 
necessarilv  lari>e  so  as  to  cover  ditrcrcut  interests,  lines  of  read- 
ing",  and  conrses  of  stndv,  as  well  as  to  meet  the  local  conditions 
which  ovjvern  larcelv  the  selection  of  bo(3ks.  Books  wliicli  are 
especially  for  (ddcn-  pnpils  or  suitable  esi)ecially  for  yonnger  ones 
are  indicatc^d  in  the  notes. 

In  general  it  is  best  to  choose  books  that  are  certain  to  be 
within  the  capacity  of  the  greater  number  of  pupils.  It  is  bet- 
ter to  err  on  the  side  of  selecting  books  that  are  too  simple,  than 
that  of  selecting  those  which  will  be  of  very  little  service  be- 
cause they  are  too  difficult.  Make  tlie  selection  so  as  to  cover 
as  wide  a  range  of  subjects  as  possiMc  ami  I'uniish  books  for  all 
classes. 

Books  which  are  marked  **  should  not  Ix'  purchased  until  the 
reference  library  is  of  fairly  good  size.  In  some  cases  books  so 
marked  are  expensive,  and  in  (itlic'i'>  llicy  aic  iidt  sn  necessary  to 
a  working  library  as  other  books  on  the  list. 

ARRANGEMENT   AND   OLASSIEICATION   OF   UOuKS. 

'i'lie  JMMiks  (111  tliis  list  have  been  arranged  Iiy  subject  and 
classiiied  according  to  a  sim[)le  selieiiie  of  classilicat  ion  taken 
from  tinil  pr(-|i;ii'e<l  li\  ( '.  A.  ('iittir.  This  sclieine  is  the  same

fication  on  the  label.  The  upper  line  of  the  classification  refers 
to  the  subject  of  the  book.  The  lower  line  is  taken  from  the 
''Cutter  (lecininl  autlior  table,"  a  scheme  which  gives  to  each 
work  its  own  exclnsive  book  number,  so  contrived  that  the  books 
stand  on  the  shelves  alphabeted  by  authors,  under  each  subject. 

AUTHOR   AND   TITLE   CARD    INDEX. 

A  com])lete  title  card  index  to  the  books  in  the  library  may  be 
made  by  obtaining  duplicate  copies  of  this  list,  cutting  out  the 
entries,  mounting  them  on  catalog  cards,  and  arranging  tho 
sards  in  alphabetical  order  by  title. 

An  author  card  index  may  be  made  in  the  same  manner  by 
mounting  another  copy  of  these  entries  adding  the  author's 
name,  inverted,  on  the  top  line  of  the  card,  and  arranging  the 
cards  in  alphabetical  order  by  author. 

These  two  indexes  may  be  kept  separately  or  arranged  to- 
gether in  one  alphabetical  order  by  first  lines. 

GRADING. 

The  books  have  not  been  graded  for  each  year,  for  what  a 
pupil  wants  to  read  depends  upon  what  he  has  read,  what  he  is 
interested  in,  and  the  work  the  teacher  does  with  him,  rather 
than  upon  the  number  of  years  he  has  attended  school. 

NOTES   ON  liOOKS. 

The  notes  on  the  books  are  made  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
teacher,  and  to  aid  the  teacher  in  directing  the  reading  of  tho 
pupils.  The  educational  and  ethical  values  are  pointed  out, 
and  the  things  which  arc  i\\)i  to  interest  pupils  are  indicated. 

ORDERING   AND   SHIPPING. 

1.  This  list  and  the  Townshi]>  List  constitute  the  High  Scliool 
list  for  1902,  and  books  selected  for  high  schools  in  cities  of  the 
fourth  class  should  not  be  selected  from  any  other  lists.     Special 


LIST  OF  BOOKS  FOR  HIGH  SOHOOL  LIBRiAlRIES. 


notice  is  called  to  that  portion  of  the  law  which  provides  that 
all  books  purchased  with  the  library  funds  must  be  selected  from 
the  list  prepared  by  the  State  Superintendent.  Though  this 
list  is  intended  primarily  for  High  Scliools  coming  under  the 
township  Library  Law,  all  High  vSchools  in  the  state  will  find  it 

valuable. 

2.  Des  Forges  &  Co.,  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  will  furnish  the  books 
this  year,  and  will  supply  them  at  the  prices  given  in  the  second 
column  in  this  list.  They  will  make  no  charges  for  boxing-  and 
cartage. 

3.  Make  out  all  orders  on  regular  order  blanks  which  are  fur-, 
nished  by  the  State  Superintendent.  The  blanks  furnished  this 
year  contain  space  for  ordering  books  as  second  choice.  Expe- 
rience has  shown  that  it  is  better  not  to  make  a  second  choice. 
Order  the  hoohs  luanted  and  Des  Forges  cG*  Co.  will  furnish  them 
as  ordered.  In  ease  an}-  books  are  shipped  which  are  not 
ordered,  it  will  be  due  to  a  mistake  of  the  shipping  clerk.  Such 
books  should  be  promptly  returned  to  Des  Forges  &  Co.,  at  their 
expense,  and  their  attention  called  to  the  error.  They  will  cor- 
rect the  mistake  promptly  without  further  expense  to  the  party 
ordering. 

4.  Give  all  directions  for  shipping  carefidly  and  plainly ;  the 
city  for  which  tJie  books  are  ordered,  the  line  of  railway,  or  by 
what  express  company  shipment  is  to  be  made.  Carelessness 
in  these  matters  is  sure  to  cause  much  trouble  and  unnecessai^ 
delay  in  getting  books. 

5.  According  to  law  the  books  may  be  purchased  any  time 
between  the  first  days  of  May  and  September,  but  it  is  better  to 
buy  as  early  as  possible  so  that  classes  about  to  be  graduated 
may  have  the  use  of  the  books  before  leaving  school,  and  it  is 
desirable  to  have  the  books  on  hand  at  the  beginning  of  the  school 
year, 

0.  Charge  freight,  express,  postage  and  exchange  to  the 
library  fund. 

7.  Keep  a  duplicate  of  the  order,  and  see  that  the  books  re-

cl.     (Heroes  ot  the  nations  series.)    1.50       .98 

"In  Uiis  volume  I  have  tried  to  meet  tlie  wishes  of  the  publishers, 
by  explaining  to  those  who  are  comparatively  unfamiliar  with  clas- 
sical anticiuity  the  place  which  Caesar  occupies  in  the  history  of  the 
world.  He  was  not  the  founder,  much  less  was  he  the  organizer 
of  the  IJoman  Empire  ;  yet  his  life  marks  a  great  change  in  Euro- 
pean history.  I  have  tried  to  sliow  (and  have  done  my  best  to  ex- 
press on  the  title-page)  what  this  change  means,  how  it  was  in 
part  the  result  of  pro-existing  tendencies,  and  was  due  in  part  to 
Caesar's  extraordinary  force  of  will  and  intellect. 

The  l(>ndencios  of  the  age.  and  the  growth  of  Ca'sar's  character, 
are  the  two  leading  themes  of  the  book  ;  and  I  have  endeavoured  to 
treat  these  as  far  as  possible  by  the  help  of  contemporary  evidence, 
and  chiefly  of  C.Tsar's  own  writings  and  those  of  Cicero." — From 
Author's  Preface. 

Contents:  Birth,  family  and  education;  Boyhood  during  the 
civil  war  ;  Early  life  under  the  Sullan  government ;  Quaestorship, 
and  supremacy  of  Pompeius ;  Aedileship,  and  conspiracy  of  Cati- 
lina  :  Praetorship,  and  formation  of  triumvirate  ;  Csesar's  first  con-

A  book  of  great  value  to  the  student  of  Roman  history.  Froude 
evokes  a  strong  plea  in  favor  of  Caesar  and  in  a  few  words  draws 
one  of  the  best  short  pictures  of  Cicero,  leading  his  readers  to 
despise  Cicero's  weak  character.  The  author's  point  of  view  is 
about  the   same  as   Moramsen's.

with  keen  understanding  of  French  life  and  character,  and  with 
abundant  knowledge  of  the  whole  period  of  Chami)lain's  career.  He 
has,  consequently,  painted  this  knight  of  Franco  with  rare  vivid-

prudence  as  clear  to  lis  as  the  qualities  of  men  of  our  time.

The  author  of  the  "Life  of  Stephen  A.  Douglas"  has  attempted 
a  somewhat  more  original  task  than  has  fallen  to  most  of  the 
writers  in  tlie  "Riverside  Biographical  Series."  No  life  of  Douglas 
has  been  published  since  the  civil  war,  and  the  three  lives  published 
about  the  time  of  his  death  were  of  the  nature  of  campaign  biogra- 
phies. So,  except  for  the  references  to  Douglas  in  bislories,  no 
estimate  of  him  has  been  made  from  the  point  of  view  of  a  later 
generation.  The  author  has  nevertheless  endeavored  to  make  the 
reader  understand  Douglas  the  man,  and  has  not  been  content 
merely  to  try  to  fix  his  place  In  history.

to  offer  as  a  background  for  these  portraits  pictures  of  the  domestic

It  is  iKnv  e'onerallv  ai>Teed  tliat  the  ntility  of  histoiT  as  a  liio'li 
school  study  arises  chiefly  from  the  training  Avliirli  llic  subject 
aiforils  t(i  llic  jiidgnient,  and  se<'ondarily,  from  llic  trniniiig  of 
the  porc('))t  inn,  imagination  and  memo rv.  "Tn  prepare  the 
chiM  for  judgments  in  actual  life  the  materials  must  resemble 
as  nearly  as  possi!)le  the  conditions  of  actual  life.  Snch  ma- 
terials are  found  in  history  and  fonnd  there  in  greater  degree 
than  in  ajiy  other  subject.'"  The  valne  of  historical  instruc- 
tion in  ]ireparing  students  for  good  and  int^^lligent  citizenship 
is  obvious.  Asixle  from  the  Iwdy  of  information  acquired,  the 
M'eigliing  of  evidence,  the  comparative  study  of  j^olitical  systems 
of  other  countries  and  of  other  times,  and  the  fnrmation  of 
judgments  upon,  men  and  measures,  c<institut(>  a  ti';i:ning  m<'»st 
useful  to  the  future  citizen.  Dr.  Arnohl  expressed  the  utility 
of  instruction  in  history,  cixics,  and  econ.omics  in  the  schools 
veiy  well  when  he  said:  'Mt  is  clear  that  in  whatever  it  is  our 
duty  to  act,  those  matters  also  it  is  our  duty  to  study."  The 
teardier  will  find  a  fuller  discussion  of  this  subject  in  the  Urport

tractive in  theory,  is  not  workable  in  fact;  the  naines  and  dates

can  be  ta.ught  withcnt  accnrate  knowledge  of  the  most  signifi- 
cant historieal  landmarks.  These  are  means  to  an  end,  and 
should  be  so  illuminated  with  concrete  detail  as  tO'  be  held  as 
vital  eleiments  rather  than  as  a  bare  and  dead  weight  on  the 
memoiw.  Institutions  and  men  slieuld  ])e  made  real  for  the  stu- 
dent l)y  sufficient  concrete  aiul  intelligible  discussion  of  their 
essential  characteristics.  As  a  part  of  the  training  in  judgment, 
and  in  the  interest  of  mental  economy,  they  should  be'  taught 
to  oliserve  lines  of  causation,  to  distinguish  between  the  endur- 
ing and  the  fleetinc,  between  the  essential  and  the  non-essentials 
in  histoiy,  and  the  important  should  be  made  clear,  at  whatever 
cost  of  time.  To  the  objection  that  this  mode  of  treating  his- 
torical study  as  a  training  in  judgment  takes  more  time,  the  an- 
swer of  the  late  ]\[ary  Sheldon  Barnes  is  conclusive :  "Good 
friend,  it  does ;  and  it  takes  more  time  to  solve  a  problem  in 
arithmetic  than  to  read  its  answer;  and  more  time  to  read  a  play 
of  Shakespeare  than  to  read  that  Shakespeare  was  the  greatest 
dramatist  of  all  the  aiiX's;  and  more  time  finally  to  read  the 
American  constitutien  and  the  American  newspaper,  and  make 
up  your  mind  how  to  vote^  your  own  vote,  than  it  does  tO'  be'  put

The  books  listed.  A\hich  give  bibliographies  of  works  on  his-

here  unnecessary.  In  general,  it  may  l)e  pointed  out  that  the 
methods  should  be  tluise  which  conduce  to  a  training  of  the  judg- 
ment. A  text-book  should,  in  most  cases  be  used  as  a  basis  of 
work,  ajid  to  give  proportion,  order,  and  definiteness  to  the  in- 
struction. Collateral  material,  used  in  additional  reading,  an<l 
in  presentation  of  topical  reports,  is  essential,  and  this  involv(iS

training!:  the  student  to  extract  the  important  elements  out  of 
his  reading,  deve'lops  the  critical  faculty,  and  gives  the  student 
some  impi-ession  of  tlie  sort  of  materials  out  of  wliicli  the  text- 
book was  made.  Written  work  should  lie  increasingly  used  in 
the  later  part  of  the  coui-se;  tlic  practice  of  keeping  note  books 
is  to  be  connuended. 

History  should  be  so  taught  as  to  make  use  of  llic  studies  of 
geogTaphy,  ([)hysiographic,  economic,  and  political),  literature, 
economics,  civics,  and  similar  subjects.  All  may  be  made  mu- 
tually liel])ful.  The  use  of  pictures,  of  which  there  are  now  a 
multiplicity  of  cheap  reprints,  will  aid  in  bi-inging  the  archi- 
tecture, sculpture,  and  painting  of  jiast  ages  before  the  pujul ; 
and  these  are  important  aids  in  understanding  the  culture  of  a 
period.  Maps  and  atlases  should  be  constantly  used,  including 
fuitline  maps  for  coustrucli\e  work.  Wlicu  the  student  is  al- 
^|^^\'el|  to  make  something,  ^vhether  a  toju'cal  repcu-t  or  an  il- 
lustrative map,  his  into'est  is  aroused,  and  the  subject  takes  on 
a  definiteness  that  is  well  worth  the  time.  Lantern  slides  make 
iwssiblo  a  large  use  of  maps  and  pictures  at  comparatively  slight 
expense.

181.  History  topics:  for  the  use  of  high  schools  and  col-

&  Co.,  1897.     1.30  p.     S.  pa 25       .17 

The  first  object  of  the  topical  method  is  to  give  prominence  to 
the  most  important  names  and  events  of  history,  and  concentrate 
the  reading  of  the  students  upon  certain  selected  ones  of  these. 

"Two  sets  of  topics  are  here  presented — the  first  for  general 
dynastic  and  territorial  liislory,  the  second  for  the  history  of  the 
United  States.  The  course  of  dynastic  history  is  intended  to  occupy 
an  entire  year,  and  is  for  Ibis  purpo.se  divided  into  thirty  divi- 
sions, each  of  which  may  lake  up  a  week,  while  the  rest  of  the  school 
year  may  be  devoted  to  reviews  and  e.\aniinatious.  The  system  is, 
however,  very  elastic,  and  the  work  may  be  compressed  or  ex- 
panded according  to  the  amount  of  time  at  the  disposal  of  the 
class.  My  way  is,  after  going  over  a  period  In  chronological  order, 
to  review  by  countries,  so  as  lo  take  up  the  same  points  of  view. 
The  course  in  .\merican  history  consists  of  fifty  daily  lessons;  but 
these  again   may  be  expanded  or  condensed  at   pleasure."      I'reface.

This  brief  worli  is  an  attempt  to  explain  the  influence  which  the 
mother  country  exerts  upon  colonies,  and  which  colonies  in  turn 
exert  upon  the  mother  country — for  good  or  evil.  It  is  largely  the

"In  the  preparation  of  the  text  I  have  endeavored  to  give  especial 
emphasis  to  the  different  periods  of  liistory,  and  at  the  same  time  to 
make  clear  the  continuous  movement.  If  any  fairly  good  conception 
can  be  gained  from  the  study  of  history  of  the  steady  marcli  of 
humanity  up  to  its  present  level,  one  of  its  richest  and  most  fruitful 
results  has  been  secured,  and  it  is  a  wish  of  mine,  though  one  per- 
haps not  easily  realized,  tliat  the  teacher  should  be  able  to  make  his 
class  see  in  each  lesson,  or  at  least  in  each  of  the  minor  epochs  of 
history,  how  the  movement  advances  a  stage  in  tlie  given  bit  of

to  us  ;  two  of  them  reeoiding  very  fully  tlie  romantic  deeds  of  our 

lion-hearted  I'lantagenet  :  the  third  the  chiviili-ic  career  of  the  pious 

and  exemplary  Saint  Louis  of  France. 

Of  the  auflior  of  tlie  first  of  tliese  Clironicles,  Richard  of 
Devizes,  nothing  is  Icnown  heyond  what  he  himself  informs  us  in 
his  preface,  by  which  it  appears,  tliat  he  was  in  early  life  a  monk 
at  St.  Swithin's  Priory  at  Winchester,  and  subsequently  a  Carthu- 
sian of  Witham. 

Other  works  have  been  ascribed  to  the  .same  writer,  but  there  is 
great  uncertainty  as  to  their  autliorship.  His  Chronicle  is  valuable 
because  it  connects  affairs  which  were  passing  in  England  with  the 
events  which  took  place  simultaneously  in  the  Holy  Land. 

The  second  work  in  this  series  is  the  History  of  tlie  Expedition 
of  Richard  Coeur  de  Lion  to  the  Holy  Land,  by  (Jeoffrey  de  Vin- 
sauf.      .      .      .     • 

Of  all  his  works,  the  most  important  and  intrinsically  valuable  is 
his  History  of  the  Third  Crusade,  under  Richard  the  First  of  Eng- 
land and  Philip  Augustus  of  France.  It  is  the  only  Chronicle  writ- 
ten by  an  eye-witness,  of  those  furious  assaults  which  the  army  of 
Saladin  made  upon  the  Christians,  and  of  the  tirmness  with  which 
the  lion-hearted  Richard  withstood  and  repulsed  them.  If  the  reader 
takes  the  trouble  of  comparing  Ceoffrey's  full  and  interesting 
account  of  the  crusade  with  that  of  Ricliard  of  Devizes,  he  will 
perceive  how  much  superior  it  is  in  every  respect.  Geoffrey  lived  to 
see  the  death  of  King  Richard,  and  the  accession  of  his  brother 
John,  and  it  is  much  to  be  lamented  that  he  breaks  off  his  history 
somewhat  abruptly,  .just  at  the  moment  when  the  crusaders  em- 
bark on  board  ship  to  leave  tlie  Holy  Land,  at  the  end  of  the  year 
1102.      .       .       . 

The  third  and  la.st,  and  by  no  means  the  least  interesting  work 
in  this  volume,  is  Joinville's  Memoirs  of  Saint  Louis,  the  crusading 
king  of  France." — Preface.

246.  History  of  Rome:  for  high  schools  and  academies. 
George  Willis  Botsford.  N.  Y.,  Macmillan  Co., 
1902.     39G   p.     il.     O.     cl 

"This  book  is  similar  in  iilau  to  the  "History  of  Greece'.  It'  aims 
to  present  briefly  the  growth  of  Rome,  the  expansion  and  organi- 
zation of  her  power,  the  development  and  decline  of  the  imperial 
system,  and  the  transformation  of  tlie  ancient  pagan  empire  of 
the  liomans  into  the  mediaeval  Christian  empire  of  tlie  Germans. 
The  narrative,  accordingly,  extends  from  the  earliest  times  to  Char- 
lemagne. The  treatment  of  the  early  constitution  rests  directly 
upon  the  sources,  which  uniformly  represent  the  i>lebeians  as  citi- 
zens and  the  patricians  as  their  leaders. 

Kmphasis  is  placed  on  the  period  of  the  emperors  as  the  time 
during  which  Home  stamped  her  character  upon  the  history  of  the 
world.  Attention  is  directed  not  so  much  to  the  vices  and  intrigues 
of  the  imperial  court  as  to  the  progress  of  mankind  both  in  the 
capital  and  in  the  provinces.  Wars  are  treated  with  reference  to 
their  influence  on  the  current  of  history,  aud  for  the  illustration 
of  individual   and  national  character." — From   the  incfacc. 

Contents  ;  People  and  the  country  ;  Beginning  of  Bome — The 
prehistoric  age ;  Uouie  becomes  supremo  in  Italy  ;  Plebeians  win 
their  rights;  Expansion  of  the  Roman  power;  Growth  of  plu-

"This  book  does  not  claim  to  be  a  life  of  Cicero  or  a  history  of 
the  last  days  of  the  Roman  Uepublic.  Still  less  does  it  pretend  to 
come  into  comparison  with  such  a  work  as  Kekker's  Gallits,  in 
which  on  a  slender  thread  of  narrative  is  hung  a  vast  amount  of 
facts  relating  to  the  social  life  of  the  Romans.  I  liave  tried  to 
group  round  the  central  figure  of  Cicero  various  sketches  of  men 
and  manners,  and  so  to  give  my  readers  some  idea  of  what  life 
actually  was  in  Rome,  and  the  provinces  of  Rome,  during  the  first 
six  decades — to  speak  roughly — of  the  first  century  B.  C."— Preface.

"This  book  has  been  writlon  In  response  to  requests  from  many 
teachers  that  the  author  should  expand  his  little  text-book  on 
Roman  history  into  a  more  extended  account  of  Roman  affairs. 
Although  the  entire  narrative  has  been  laid  on  the  lines  drawn 
in  the  earlier  book,  still  the  present  volume  is  practically  a  new 
work.  The  development  of  the  Roman  constitution  during  repub- 
lican times  has  been  traced  carefully  step  by  step  ;  while  special 
emphasis  has  been  laid  upon  the  causes  that  undermined  the  in- 
stitutions of  the  republic,  and  which  later  brought  about  the  fall 
of  the  empire.  A  somewhat  larger  space  than  usual  has  been  given 
to  the  decay  of  paganism  and  to  the  rise  and  progress  of  Christi- 
anity in  the  empire.  Three  chapters  at  the  end  of  the  volume  are 
devoted   to  an   account  of   Roman   civilization." 

Contents  :  Rome  as  a  kingdom  ;  Rome  as  a  republic  ;  Rome  as 
an  empire;  Architecture,  literature,  law,  and  social  life;  Romano- 
German   or   transition   age.

"Each  year  shows  advance  toward  a  general  appreciation  of  the 
value  and  feasibility  of  source  study  by  younger  as  well  as  by 
older  students.  It  is  no  longer  thought  useless,  or  even  danger- 
ous, to  place  the  original  text  in  the  hands  of  the  boy  or  girl  ju.st 
beginning  the  study  of  history. 

The  definite  gains  from  a  moderate  and  carefully  directed  use  of 
sources  are  manifold.  First  and  foremost  is  the  stronger  sense  of 
reality  produced  by  coming  in  direct  contact  with  the  men  who 
helped  to  make  history,  or  with  those  who  actually  witnessed  the 
events  they  describe.  To  the  average  school  boy,  historic  per- 
sonages are  heroes  or  bores,  as  the  case  may  be,  buf  never  men.  To 
remedy  this  would  be  a  long  step  toward  success  in  the  teaching  of 
history,  and  here  the  value  of  the  original  letter  or  description  is

at  once   apparent.      ...      A  deeper,   a  more   lasting   impression 
•  is  secured  by  turning  baclc  to  tlie  original  account. 

Still  another  advantage  is  the  interest  aroused  through  allow- 
ing the  men  of  a  bygone  time  to  speaii  for  themselves.  The  stu- 
dent feels  that  he  is  at  the  heart  and  beginning  of  things  when  he 
reads  the  story  as  told  by  the  man  who  did  the  great  deed,  or  at 
least  by  one  who  saw  him  do  it.  His  interest  is  stimulated  as  it 
could  not  be  by  the  careful  account  prepared  in  cold  blood  by  the 
historiiui,  a  man  of  another  age  and  of  an  alien  temper. 

A  certain  judicial  fairness  of  attitude  toward  men  and  events 
of  the  past  is  fostered  by  reading  the  original  accounts  with  their 
marked  personal  stamp.  Where  each  side  has  a  chance  to  tell  its 
own  story,  the  student  is  led  to  weigh  evidence,  to  consider  prob- 
abilities, lie  is  forced  unconsciously  to  abandon  his  prejudices 
to  see  that  right  and  wrong  are  often  separated  by  a  very  narrow 
line,  that  the  good  are  not  all  on  one  side,  the  bad  all  on  the 
other."

the  teaching  of  history   in   schools. 

History  should  be  taught  for  the  sake  of  its  human  interest. 
For  this  reason  I  have  made  it  my  first  object  to  avoid  being  dull. 
I  have  been  very  biographical,  taking  care  to  introduce  formally  all 
new  characters  of  importance  as  they  come  upon  the  stage." — Au-

In  addition  to  a  series  of  chapters  on  the  history  and  present 
condition  of  the  colonics  and  rcpuljlics  of  South  Africa,  the 
author  describes  the  scenery  and  animal  life  of  plain  and  moun- 
tain and  valley,  and  the  climatic  conditions  which  afford  so  po- 
tently the  country's  development.  The  race  problems  involved  in 
the  rivalry  of  Dutch  and  English,  and  the  numerical  preponder- 
ance of  blacks,  are  fully  discussed,  as  being  perhaps  the  most  seri- 
ous to  be  considered  in  connection  with  the  progress  of  civilization 
and  the  probable  effect  of  the  discovery  of  gold  upon  the  permanent 
welfare  of  the  land.

troubles  in  South  Africa,  with  a  history  of  the 
Boers,  the  country,  and  it?  institutions.  Howard

p.     maps,     por  and  il.     D.     cl 1.50       .98 

The  author  is  a  New  York  newspaper  man  who  spent  nearly 
two  years  in  South  Africa  enjoying  special  facilities  at  the  hands 
of  President  Kruger  and  other  Boer  officials  as  well  as  from  Sir 
Alfred  Milner  and  other  British  representatives  at  Cape  Colony. 
The  book  contains  an  important  interview  with  Oom  Paul  and  a 
special  study  of  Cecil  Rhodes.  Mr.  Hillegas  blames  stock-jobbers 
and  politicians  for  all  the  trouble  between  the  Boers  and  the  Eng- 
lish, and  believes  that  war  is  the  probable  final  outcome.  One 
chapter  is  especially  devoted  to  the  American  interests  in  South 
Africa,  showing  that,  while  British  capital  owns  the  vast  gold 
mines,  American  brains  operate  them.

their  parents  or  grandparents  at  the  time  of  the  alarm  of  April  19.

This  period  is  illustrated  in  two  distinct  aspects,  one.  its  mili- 
tary history,  giving  a  condensed  and  succinct  account  of  the  cani- 
luiigns  and  engagements  of  the  war:  and  the  other,  its  constitu-

mooted,  concerning  the  constitutional  phases  of  the  movements  of 
the  period.  The  most  valuable  portion  of  this  work  is  its  constitu- 
tional histury.  The  important  subjects  of  Secession,  Kmancipa- 
tion.  the  National  powers  of  the  government,  and  the  war  powers 
of  the  executive  in  their  constitutional  relations  are  scholarly  and

640  p.     O.     Ed.  7.     cl 3.50     2.30 

As'  a  handbook  for  the  study  of  our  political  life  this  book  has 
no  superior. 

'•I  purpose  in  these  pages  to  sketch  the  political  history  of  the 
Rise  of  the  Republic  of  the  United  States.  I  shall  endeavor  to 
frame  a  narrative  of  events,  with  their  causes  and  relations,  which 
derive  interest  and  importance  from  their  connection  with  the 
formation  and  direction  of  public  opinion,  the  development  of 
fundamental  principles,  and  the  embodiment  of  these  principles 
into  institutions  and  laws.  I  shall  aim  to  show  how  the  Euro- 
pean emigrant,  imbued  with  the  spirit  of  a  new  civilization,  organ- 
ized self-governing  communities,  and  to  follow  the  stages  of  their 
growth  into  a  union.  I  shall  then  trace  the  origin  and  rise  of  a 
sentiment  of  nationality,  and  the  effort  by  which  it  became  em- 
bodied in  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  which  was  the  first  cove- 
nant of  our  country;  and  in  the  federal  constitution,  which  is  the 
supreme  law  of  the  land." — From  Introduction. 

Contents :  Ideas  of  local  self-government  and  of  national 
union  ;  Combination  of  local  self-government  and  union  in  the  New 
England  confederacy  ;  How  aggression  of  the  principle  of  local  self- 
government  led  to  revolution  and  intercolonial  correspondence, 
and  how  a  common  peril  occasioned  a  congress  ;  Ideas  of  local  self- 
government  and  of  union  for  seventy  years,  and  their  combination 
in  the  plan  adopted  by  the  Albany  convention  ;  How  the  assertion 
by  parliament  of  a  right  to  tax  the  colonies  by  the  stamp  act 
evoked  a  sentiment  of  union,  and  occasioned  a  general  congress ; 
How  the  assertion  by  parliament,  in  the  Townshend  revenue  acts, 
of  absolute  power  over  the  colonies,  was  met  by  a  constitutional 
opposition,  and  how  an  arbitrary  royal  order  elicited  action  in  a 
similar  spirit  by  thirteen  assemblies,  in  defence  of  their  local  self- 
government  ;  How  the  patriots  advanced  from  an  embodiment  of 
public  opinion  to  a  party  organization,  by  forming  committees  of 
correspondi*nco :  How  events  developed  the  American  union,  and 
how  the  demand  for  a  genei'al  congress  was  accompanied  by 
pledges  to  abide  by  its  decisions  ;  How  a  general  congress  formed 
the  association  of  the  united  colonies,  and  how  support  was  pledged 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Massachusetts  in  resisting  the  alteration  of 
their  charter;  When  the  popular  leaders  recognized  the  fact  oi 
revolution,   and  began   to   aim   at   independence,   and   how   they   met

The  story  that  ]>r.  llosmer  tells  of  the  acquisition  of  the  western 
empire  included  in  the  Louisiana  purchase  presents  new  and  pic- 
turesque phases  of  a  most  important  historical  event  of  peculiar 
and  timely  interest,  in  view  of  the  anniversary  which  comes  next 
year.  He  pictures  the  vague  and  curious  ideas  of  the  Louisiana 
country  held  by  most  Americans  one  hundred  years  ago,  and  the 
objections  to  this  form  of  expansion.  He  treats  the  changes  in  the 
ownership  of  the  territory  from  France  to  Spain,  and  again  to 
France,  and  he  develops  fully  the  purposes  and  acts  of  Jefferson 
and  the  American  Commissioners  in  Paris.  Of  special  importance 
from  both  the  historical  and  personal  points  of  view  are  the  chap- 
ters which  picture  the  leading  part  taken  by  Napoleon  in  bringing 
about  the  sale  of  Louisiana,  and  the  relations  between  France  and 
America,  which  are  shown  to  possess  a  historical  importance  that 
has  not  been  appreciated.

Franci-s  Newton  Thorpe.  N.  Y.,  Harper  &  Bros., 

1898.     2   vols.     maps.     O.  cl 5.00 

This  is  a  histiiry  of  (he  cvolulidn  of  governnieut  in  Ihis  country, 
and  it  r(!calls  the  changes  in  the  ideas  and  opinions  whicii  the 
American  people  have  held  respecting  the  principles,  the  organiza- 
tion, and  the  administration  of  their  civil  institutions.  It  deals 
with  the  nation  as  a  great  constituency  engaged  in  working  out  a 
political  system.  The  process  has  been  one  of  individual  and  so- 
cial amelioration,  through  many  struggles,  among  which  the  chief 
are  those  for  tlie  extension  of  the  suffrage  ;  for  the  etpiitable  ap- 
portionment of  repre.sentation ;  for  the  abolition  of  discrimina- 
tions on  account  of  race:  for  the  oi-ganization  of  systems  of  free 
schools;  for  the  sei)ara(ion  of  the  state  from  questionable  practices. 
and  for  the  establishment  of  government  directly  upon  the  will  of 
the  people.  Nine  maps  illustrate  the  changes  in  population  and  in 
the  political  division  of  tlie  country  from  177G  to  1850.  An  e.x- 
liaustive  index  and  an  analytical  table  of  contents,  by  <liapti'rs, 
add   to  the  usefulness  of  (he  work.

"What  has  been  here  attempted  has  been  to  select  those  facts 
which  are  material  to  the  Story,  and  which  are  also  absolutely,  or 
morally,  certain ;  to  explode  whatever  myths  we  may  happen  to 
have  met  with  ;  and  to  give  exact  references  for  everything  that  is 
adduced.  In  one  sense,  it  has  been  a  resetting  of  old  material  ;  in 
another,  the  production  of  new  facts.  Our  great  desire  has  been, 
that  there  should  be  nothing  in  this  Volume  that  the  Header  may 
be  hereafter  compelled  to  unlearn  :  but  that  he  may  feel  sure  that,

This  volume  deals  with  the  rise  and  fall  of  New  France,  and  the 
development  of  tlie  English  colonies  as  influenced  by  the  prolonged 
struggle  with  these  dangerous  and  troublesome  neighbors.  It  com-

up  to  the  point  where  Mr.  Piske"s  "American  Revolution"  has  al- 
ready taken  up  the  narrative,  and  therefore  gives  a  final  unity  to 
the  sequence  of  remarkable  volumes  which  he  has  devoted  to  Ameri- 
can  history.

"There  is  no  word  simpler  and  more  elastic  than  the  word  story 
to  descril)e  the  plan  of  the  series,  and  although  we  shall  deal  with

"Mr.  Grinnell  takes  us  directly  to  the  camp  tire  and  the  council. 
He  shows  us  the  Indian  as  a  man  subject  to  lilvC  passions  and  in-

fought,  how  he  Ininted  and  prayed,  how  he  ate  and  slept — in  short, 
we  are  admitted  to  the  real  life  of  the  red  man,  and  as  we  learn

A  concise  history  of  the  city  of  New  York. 

"The  main  object  of  my  work,  in  fact,  had  a  bearing  wide  from 
the  sober  aim  of  history  ;  but  one  which,  I  trust,  will  meet  with 
some  indulgence  from  poetic  minds.  It  was  to  embody  the  tradi- 
tions of  our  city  in  an  amusing  form  :  to  illustrate  its  local  humors, 
customs,  and  peculiarities  ;  to  clothe  home  scenes  and  iJlaces  and 
familiar  names  with  those  imaginative  and  whimsical  associations 
so  seldom  met  with  in  our  new  country,  but  which  live  like  charms 
and  spells  about  the  cities  of  the  old  world,  binding  the  heart  of  the 
native  inhabitaut  to  his  home." — From  Author's  preface.

An  excellent  text-book. 

"The  author  has  endeavored  to  limit  the  contents  of  this  text- 
book of  Commercial  Geography  to  those  dominating  features  of 
commerce  and  industry  that  should  be  most  strongly  impressed 
upon  the  student.  The  facts  of  commerce  are  treated  as  the  effect 
of  conditions  that  determine  the  quality  and  the  quantity  of  trade. 
The  effort  is  made  throughout  the  book  to  connect  cause  and  effect ; 
to  trace  the  great  and  small  streams  of  commerce,  and  also  to 
show  the  causes  that  give  them  direction  and  volume.  Geographic 
and  many  other  controlling  influences,  such  as  inventions,  gov- 
ernmental aids  or  impedimeuts,  and  the  Improvement  of  products, 
industrial  processes,  and  moans  of  transportation,  are  therefore 
made  prominent. 

Each  product  is  treated  in  the  chapter  relating  to  the  commerce 
of  that  country  in  which  the  production  or  manufacture  of  the 
commodity  is  specially  prominent." — Preface.

East  London  is  that  part  of  Greater  London  given  over  mostly 
to  the  very  poor  and  is  a  city  in  itself.  "It  is  my  task",  tlie  au-

city  which  may  redeem  it  from  the  charges  of  monotony  and  un-

crafts",  "The  pool  and  the  riverside",  "Factory  girl",  "Key  of  the

Of  the  historic  trails  crossing  the  great  plains  none  has  a  nior(> 
stirring  story  than  that  known  as  the  Salt  Lake  trail.  Over  this 
liistorical  highway  the  JMornions  made  their  toilsome  way.  Over 
this  route  also  were  made  those  world-renowned  expeditions  by  Fre- 
mont, Stanshnry,  and  others  to  the  heart  of  the  Kocky  mountains. 
Over  this  same  route  the  overland  stage  lumbered  along,  long  before 
the  building  of  a  railroad  was  believed  to  l)e  possible.  This  bool? 
deals  with  the  era  of  the  trapper,  the  scout,  the  savage,  and  the 
passage  of  emigrants  to  the  gold  fields  of  California,  and  with  the 
adventures  which  markt>d  the  long  and  weary  march.  A  book  of 
intense  interest.

"When  the  famous  highway  was  established  across  the  great 
plains,  the  only  metlK)d  of  travid  was  by  the  slow  freight  caravan 
drawn  by  patient  o.xen.  or  the  hindjering  stage-coach  with  its  com-

POLITICAL  ECOXOMY. 

Tlie  study  of  political  economj  will  be  chiefly  useful  to  pupils 
in  a  hio'h  school  as  au  introduction  to  tlie  serious  and  thoughtful 
consideration  of  the  practical  affairs  of  life.  Its  purpose  is  not 
so  much  to  present  a  body  of  knowledge  as  to  form  a  habit  of  and 
civo  a  basis  for  estimating  economic  values  and  results.  To 
many  persons  the  statement  that  values  originate  in  labor,  and 
that  wealth  represents  services  performed,  comes  at  first  as  a 
great  noveltv.  The  full  realization  of  the  truth  and  of  its  bear- 
ing  on  various  Avays  of  money  getting  current  in  society,  comes 
not  from  Inemorizing  the  text,  but  from  an  abundance  of  illus- 
trations brought  out  in  the  class-room,  with  the  usual  accom- 
panying comment  and  criticism.  Possibly  no  other  study  in  the 
course  so  urgentlv  demands  the  conversational  method  of  con- 
ducting  a  recitation,  and  can  so  ill  endure  the  verbal  memorizing 
of  text-books. 

Pupils  who  have  studied  the  conditions  affecting  the  produc- 
tion of  wealth,  including  the  division  of  labor,  the  consequent 
frequent  separation  of  the  capitalist  from  the  laborer  and  the 
growth  of  combinations  on  each  side,  should  be  better  able  to 
read  intelligently  the  current  discussions  of  the  "labor  problem" 
in  leading  journals  and.  magazines.  If  they  are  led  tO'  read 
snch  discussions  of  important  questions  and  to  subject  the  arti- 
cles to  the  test  of  measurement  by  the  principles  stated  and  ac- 
cepted previously,  there  may  be  less  satisfaction  with  dogmatic 
statements,  but  there  shonld  result  a  wider  interest  in  human 
affairs  and  current  news,  with  a  broader  toleration  of  divergent 
views.     Established  facts  and  accepted  theories  may  be  made  in-

further  than  the  controversialists  ou  either  side  have  yet  ven-

popular  strength  in  spite  of  all  exposures  of  its  fallacies;  to  trace 
the  connection  between  the  tariff  question  and  those  still  more  im-

Jessup  Stimson.  ("J.  S.  of  Dale",  pseud.)  N.  Y., 
C:   Scribner's  Sons,  189G.     385  p.     D.     cl 1.50     1.35 

Sets  forth  as  it  exists  in  the  United  States  today,  that  law  of 
labor  disputes  and  the  regulation  of  industrial  affairs  and  pro- 
tection of  employees  which  has  had  its  greatest  development  in  the 
last  few  years.  While  the  work  is  sufficiently  full  and  accurate 
to  serve  as  a  legal  text-book,  the  author's  chief  object  has  been  to 
make  it  a  clear  and  trustworthy  guide  for  laboring  men  and  their 
several  organizations  throughout  the  United  States. 

Contents :  Labor  contract ;  Statutes  regulating  the  employment 
contracts ;  Political  protection  and  legal  privileges  of  laborers ; 
Profit-sharing,  co-operation,  and  laborers'  stock ;  State  regulation 
of  factories,  mines,  etc.;  Other  legal  rights  and  liabilities  of  mas- 
ter ;  Trades  union  ;  Strikes  and  boycotts ;  Equity  process  and  in- 
junctions— the  anti-trust  law  and  the  interstate  commerce  law ;

here  offered  ;  but  a  substantial  course  of  study  In  this  vitally  im- 
portant subject." — Preface.

opposite  side  of  the  question,  with  many  new  and  old  arguments, 
supported  by  carefully  gathered  facts  and  figures.  Her  conclusions 
are  that  woman's  suffrage  is  not  the  offspring  of  democracy,  but 
has  received  its  warmest  support  under  mouarchical  or  even  des- 
potic governments ;  that  the  advance  women  have  made  in  the  pi'o- 
fessions  and  the  changes  for  the  better  brought  about  in  their  con- 
dition under  the  laws  are  to  be  credited  to  the  broadening  of 
thought,  not  to  the  suffrage  agitation  ;  that  woman,  through  her 
sex,  is  unfitted  for  political  life  ;  that  the  suffrage  wouUl  tend  to 
disintegrate  the  home  ;  that  women  would  lack  the  physical  power 
to  defend  a  vote,  or  to  carry  out  the  laws  she  might  enact."

PSYCITOLOGY. 

The  study  of  psychology  in  the  high  schools  must  necessarily 
1)0  elementaiy  and  will  be  successful  in  so  far  only  as  it  is  simple 
and  direct.  ISTo  effort  should  be  made  to  leach  a  system  of 
philosop'liy  or  to  engage  in  uietaphysical  disputation.  The  end 
will  bo  reached  if  the  juipil  is  taught  wdiat  the  mind  can  do  and 
how  il  does  it.  A  simple  scheme  of  the  uiental  faculties  should

The  influence  of  the  emotions  and  the  will  in  determining 
character  and  Cdudnct  may  be  explained  and  illustrated.  Tlie 
mijid  is  the  instruanent  through  whose  activity  all  accretions  of 
knowledge  come.  The  study  of  its  powers,  modes  of  action  and 
limitations  is  noble  in  itself  and  ought  to  be  rich  ini  results. 
The  examination  of  the  sequence  in  tlie  unfolding  of  its  powers 
furiii<lies  lh(^:  guide  lines  for  stndciit  and  teacher.  The  habit 
of  sober  and  accurate  thought  wdiieh  this  study  necessitates  is 
tlie  prerequisite  of  wise  action.  To  impart  the  power  of  fixing 
the  attentioui,  of  holding  the  mind  steadily  to  the  subject  in 
hand  is  preeminently  the  province  of  psychological  study,  and 
is  th(^  highest  outcome  of  intellectual  training. 

TIIEOT^Y   AND    ART    OF    TEACTTIjNTG. 

Sec.  49 Ga  of  the  Wisconsin  Statutes  authorizes  the  state  su- 
perintendent "to  prepare  a  course  or  courses  of  study  suitable  to 
be  pursned  in  the  free  liigh  scdiool,"  and  specifically  states  that : 
"  Eacli  free  higli  school  shall  offer  at  least  a  twelve  weeks' 
coui'se  of  iiistruction  each  year  in  the  theoi-y  and  art  of  teaching; 
in  the  orgaTiization,  management,  and  ecnirse  of  study  of  ungraded 
schools;  and  in  tlie  duties  of  citizens  in  the  organization  and  ad- 
ministration of  local  STstems.  Such  course  of  instruction  shall 
be  o])en  to  all  students  in  tliis  school.'"  Provision  must  be  made 
for  this  study  in  each  course  excepting  courses  in  manual  train- 
ing. It  sli(»uld  bo  understood  liy  teachers  and  metmbers  of 
school  Ixiards  iliat  this  is  not  a  study  which  is  of  value  to  those 
pupils  only  a\1io  expect  to  teach  in  the  schools  of  the  state. 
The  pupils  in  the  public  S(?liools  will  soon  be  in  positions  where 
they  will  be  responsible  for  the  development  and  maintenance 
of  those  schoiols.  Tiro  ^vork  in  Them-y  and  Art  of  Teaching

Longmans,  Green  &  Co.,  1902.  385  p.  (American 
Teachers'  series.)     D.     cl 1-50       .98 

"It  is  the  aim  of  this  book  to  aid  teachers  of  history,  and  espe- 
cially those  who  have  not  had  special  training  in  historical  work, 
better  to  comprehend  the  nature  of  the  subject.  Until  they  have 
considered  the  development  of  history  as  a  way  of  portraying  the 
experience  of  mankind,  and  know  something  of  the  methods  by 
which  it  seeks  to  reach  the  sure  basis  of  fact,  and  until  they  have 
seriously  studied  the  problems  of  historical  instruction,  they  can 
not  feel  a  large  interest  in  the  subject,  and  consequently  cannot  in- 
spire their  pupils  with  such  an  interest.  The  first  part  of  this 
book  has  been  written  to  set  them  on  the  way  toward  a  better  com- 
prehension of  those  aspects  of  history.  The  second  part  offers  a 
review  of  the  general  field,  which  may  guide  those  who  require 
such  help  intelligently  to  study  its  many  phases.      . 

In  the  bibliography  prefixed  to  each  chapter  and  in  the  notes 
will  be  found  the  names  of  the  books  chiefly  consulted,  or  useful 
in  a  farther  study  of  the  subject." — Preface.

Mr.  Corbin  is  a  Harvard  man  who  has  resided  at  Oxford,  and 
has  seen  much  of  English  life.  He  covers  in  his  narrative  the 
whole  range  of  college  activities,  outdoor  and  indoor  life,  athletics 
and  clubs,  examinations  and  amusements,  the  university  and  the 
outside  world.  He  deals  lightly  with  the  history  of  Oxford,  its  past 
and  its  influence  on  English  life,  and  in  the  light  of  this  history 
and  study,  touches  on  the  problems  which  now  concern  the  Ameri- 
can university,  the  social  and  athletic  problem,  the  administrative 
and  educational,  and  the  large  question  of  the  service  of  the  Uni-

D.      cl 

An  excellent  book  for  the  use  of  the  History  teacher.  "The  aim 
has  not  been  to  discuss  devices  and  external  manipulations  in 
teaching  history  ;  the  term  'method'  is  not  even  intended  to  suggest 
diagrams,  chronological  charts,  or  expedients  of  like  nature.  But 
something  far  more  fundamental  has  been  the  aim  ;  the  determin- 
ing factors  in  method  and  not  the  determined. 

It  is  the  prevailing  custom  among  teachers  in  secondary  and 
primary  schools  to  look  upon  the  subject  they  teach  as  contribut- 
ing very  little  to  the  method  of  its  teaching.  The  result  is  to  lower 
the  subject — and,  worst  of  all,  the  work  of  teaching — in  the  esti- 
mation of  the  teacher.     The  subject  stands  as  so  much  simple  and

easy  matter   upon  wliieli   no   special  preparation   for  the    recitation

drudgery.  College  graduates,  as  a  rule,  take  the  same  low  view 
of  work  in  these  schools.  They  feel  that  the  branches  taught  even 
in  the  best  secondary  schools  present  no  problem  worthy  of  their 
metal.  There  is  a  problem  here  worthy  of  their  best  endeavors 
and  one  that  challenges,  in  point  of  difficulty,  their  strongest  and 
keenest  powers.  They  generally  do  not  know  where  to  look  for  it  ; 
it  is  a  pedagogical,  and  not  an  academical  problem.  This  work 
is  written  with  the  confident  hope  that  such  a  problem  will  be  per- 
ceived in  the  domain  of  history  teaching  in  the  primary  and  sec- 
ordary   schools." — From  preface.

700.  Report  of  the  committee  of  twelve  of  the  modern 
language  association  of  America:  with  an  intro- 
duction by  the  chairman  Calvin  Thomas.  Bost., 
D.  C.  Heath  &  Co.,  1901.     99  p.     S.     cl 16       .14 

"The  problem  of  the  Modern  Language  Committee  was,  then,  to 
suggest  to  the  secondary  teacher  what  should  be  taught  and  how  it 
should  be  taught,  and  to  do  this  in  such  a  way  as  to  leave  to  the 
schools  a  large  measure  of  liberty  in  the  management  of  details. 
But  the  ichat  and  the  how  were  inextricably  bound  up  with  the 
why,  since  the  teacher's  theory  as  to  the  purpose  for  which  a  mod- 
ern language  is  studied  will  inevitably  exert  a  determining  influ- 
ence upon  the  character  and  method  of  the  instruction.  It  was 
first  necessary,  therefore,  to  take  a  definite  position  with  regard 
to   the  educational  value  of  the   modern   languages."'

One  of  the  greatest  educational  classics.  Rousseau  was  the 
great  leader  in  social  and  political  reform  and  from  his  "Emile" 
our  later  great  writers  on  education  have  caught  their  inspiration. 

Instead  of  writing  a  formal  treatise  on  education,  he  gives  us  in 
moving  pictures  a  sort  of  panorama  of  a  human  life  from  infancy 
up  to  maturity.  Every  teacher  should  read  this  book  and  Plato's 
"Republic".

Although  many  of  the  ideas  presented  in  this  book  seem  beyond 
practical  application,  the  authnr  claims  that  there  is  scarcely  a 
feature  of  the  book  not  supported  by  something  tested  and  proven. 
Its  main  value  to  the  teacher  will  be  as  a  source  of  inspiration.

CIVICS  AND  GOVERNMENT. 

Provision  is  mado  by  statute  for  the  teacliiiig  of  the  Consti- 
tution of  the  United  States  and  of  Wisconsin  in  the  public 
schools. 

A  Ivnowledo'e  of  the  fundamental  laws  of  the  land  is  indis- 
pensable to  every  citizen,  and  with  this  end  in  view  the  consti- 
tutions shoiild  be  taught,  the  more  important  clauses  being  mem- 
orized. The  error,  liowever,  should  not  be  made  of  treating 
the  subject  in  a  meaningless,  routine  manner,  for  every  section 
and  every  clause  possesses  a  life  which  more  or  less  affects  our 
ever^'-day  existence.  Let  the  teacher  mahe  the  branch  a  prac- 
tical one,  losing  no  opportunity  of  bringing  out  its  full  mean- 
ing by  the  application  of  current  history  or  local  events.  In 
this  \\i\y  ail  interest  will  bo  excited,  and  more  than  all,  the  great 
cbicct  in  the  teachini»;  of  civil  c'ovorunient  Avill  be  more  ucarlv

attained,  viz..  to  cr(>at.e  laAv-abidiiig  citizens.  The  young  people 
must  earlv  lenrn  the  duties  of  tlie  citizen  and  tlio  individnal 
responsibility  of  that  ciri/on  toward  niaiiitaiiiing  a  stable  govevn- 
nient  for  the  nation. 

It  ^vill  1)0  well  lo  deal  wiih  llic  ditTcn-ent  forms  of  govern- 
ments, as  administered  in  the  eonnty,  town,  village,  city,  and 
school  districts.  Those  governments  come  within  the  immedi- 
ate knoAvledge  of  the  children  or  their  parents,  and  a  study  of 
details  will  be  found  jirofitable.  It  will  be  well  also  to  take  up 
tlie  subject  of  elections.  The  jiresent  system  of  voting,  known 
as  the  "Australian"  method,  nniy  be  illustratc^d  by  securing 
samples  of  the  ballot.  The  method  of  numinations  through  pri- 
mary caucuses  is  important. 

If  there  is  a  literarv  societv  in  conncvtion  with  the  school, 
mu(di  assistance  can  be  given  to  the  sulrject  of  civil  government 
by  ])r(n-iding  for  debates  upon  important  national  questicns,  for 
moot  courts,  and  mock  legislative  deliberations.  Every  oppor- 
tunity to  visit  the  state  legislature,  tlie  county  board  of  supervis- 
ors, the  town  meeting,  and  other  assenddages  of  govenimental 
character,  should  be  im]U'o\'ed.  I'ljr<!Ughout  the  entire  work

more  intelligent  citizens,  but  it  does  not  necessarily  make  better

GENEKAL    SUGGESTI.OIVS   OK    SCIENCE    TEACHING. 

Science  in  tlie  high  school  is  desipied  primarily  for  the  pur- 
pose of  getting  simple  infonnation  from  text  books  and  by  ob- 
serving phenoniena;  later  the  purpose  is  toward  classification, 
so  as  to  lead  pupils  toward  possible  inductions,  and  to  confidence 
in  themselves  that  shall  in  turn  profoundly  stimulate  their 
activities.  The  discipline  gained  by  having  (a)  a  definite  aim, 
(b)  a  definite  method  to  accomplish  this  aim,  (c)  the  power 
(if  careful  and  accurate  observation,  (d)  the  ability  to  reach 
C(;rroct  conclusions,  is  impoi"t.ant.  The  extremes  of  these  pur- 
poses are  found:  (.1)  In  the  instruction  which  attempts  to 
teach  mere  text-bool<,  without  the  assistance  of  a  suitable  labo- 
ratory or  sufficient  apparatus.  This  is  manifestly  a  most 
serious  mistake,  and  no  instructor  should  attempt  the  teaching 
of  a  scientific  subject  unless  the  school  has  a.  proper  roomj  or 
place  to  carry  on  experimental  work  and  can  provide  itself  with 
a  suihililo  amount  of  apparatus  to  make  the  subject  practical, 
(2)  in  those  schools  in  which  the  j)iire  laboratory  method  is 
followed.  Here  the  text-book  is  abandoned  aaid  pupils  are  set 
at  work  to  rediscover  all  the  laws  and  reaffirm  too  many  of  the 
principles  that  have  concerned  the  scientists  of'  past  ages.  It 
is  unfoa-tunate  that  in  many  high  schools  the  teaching  force 
is  inadequate  to  give  careful  supervision  to  laboratory  work,  for 
AN'itliont  efficient  supervision  such  work  is  likely  to  be  worse 
tliaii  useless.  \ATiatever  laboratoi-v  work  is  don©  should  be  un- 
der  the  close  supeiwision  of  a  competent  instructor.  The  high 
school  laboTator)^  is  no  place  for  a  pupil  teacher. 

The  instructor  in  science  should  undertake  to  strike  the 
golden  mean  between  these  extremes.  The  text-book  is  a  valua- 
ble adjunct  to  the  study  of  science  and  its  utility  should  be 
fully   appreciated.     Each   subject   under  consideration   should

So  far  as  possible  the  pupils  theinselves  shouhl  do  the  actual

instructor  will  iind,  Iiowever,  that  some  inde[)en(lent  supple- 
mentarv'  experiments  and  illustrations  will  be  profitabl(\ 

Too  much  importance  cannot  be  attaehed  to  drawings  in  con-

likewise  practical  subjects.  'No  special  laboratory  is  required, 
hcwever;  the  apparatus  used  in  physics  and  botany  can  be  em- 
ployed in  these  branches. 

Psychology^  is  worthy  of  students'  attention,  and  pedagogy, 
though  chiefly  beneficial  to  the  prospective  teacher,  gives  in- 
formation which  every  intelligent  citizen  should  possess, 

SUGGESTIOTs'S, 

The  field  of  original  investigation  is  beyond  the  high  school 
student;  it  lielongs  to  the  colleg'e  post-graduate. 

Experiments  for  dis]ilay  and  entertainiuent  are  appropriate 
for  evening  shows,  but  are  not  productive  of  the  best  results  for 
the  student  of  science. 

Laboratories  should  be  provided  with  suitable  tables  and 
blackboards.  They  should  be  well  lighted  and  provided  with 
means  for  darkenijig  the  windows. 

The  pupils  can,  under  the  direction  of  the  teacher,  make  much 
simple  but  useful  apparatus  outside  of  school  hours.  The  cau- 
tion here  is,  however,  to  employ  the  pupils  as  students  of  science, 
not  as  carpenters  and  blacksmiths. 

EEFERENCE   BOOKS. 

The  "aim  has  been  to  select  a  few  good  reference  books,  and 
books  in  the  ^^'arious  divisions  of  science  which  are  written  in 
such  a  way  as  to  interest  the  pupils. 

When  possible,  all  reading  in  the«e  l)ooks  should  be  accom- 
panied by  observation  and  experimentation.  Teacher  and  pu- 
pils must  read  many  of  them  together.

PHYSICS. 

The  first  element  of  success  in  teaching  physics  is  to-  interest 
the  niembei's  of  the  class  in  the  snbject.  It  is  a  comparatively 
easy  matter  to  accomplish  this  end,  owing  to  the  fact  that  this 
branch  deals  with  matters  of  e^^ery-day  observation,  such  as 
light,  heat,  soand,  motion,  electricity,  etc.  Owing  to  this  fact, 
illustrations  in  every  department  of  physics  may  be  drawn  from 
daily  experiences.  ]\IoreoA"er,  many  of  tbe  principles  of  phys- 
ics can  be  readily  demonstrated  so  that  students  may  see  the 
beauties  whicli  exist  in  the  phenomena  of  nature.  When  their 
interest  is  thorougldy  aroused,  even  the  obscure  parts  of  the 
subject  acquire  a  now  meaning  through  their  coimectiou:  v;: 
the  ])arts  wliir-li  are  more  easily  understood. 

A  demonstration  of  a  principle  im  physics  fixes  it  in  the 
student's  mind  so  that  in  recalling  an  experiment  which  lie  lias 
seen  he  will  not  fail  to  grasp  the  principle  which  that  experi- 
ment illustrares.  Xo  other  science  lends  itself  to  exhibitition 
more  easily  than  pliysi,cs,  and  there  are  few  of  its  principles 
which  cannot  be  illustrated  before  a  class.  In  all  cases  it  should 
l;o  pointed  out  tliat  the  law  of  nature  operates  whenever  the 
operator  supplies  the  necessary  conditions,  and  it  is  the  object 
of  the  experiment,  and,  indeed,  the  object  of  the  study  of  physi-os 
to  cbseiwe  and  to  study  the  laws  of  the  universe. 

The  teacher  should  remember  that  the  pupil  is  not  likely  to 
gi'asp  a  subject  at  first  presentation,  and  that  it  must  be  ap- 
iiroached  from  manv  sides  and  with  manv  illustrations.  Even 
then  a  student  does  not  fully  c^nnprehend  the  subject  till  he 
himself  has  dealt  with  it,  and  therefore  it  is  desirable  that 
students  not  only  re])eat  tbe  experiments  shown  l)y  the  in- 
stinictor,  but  that  others  be  devised,  tending  to  make  clearer 
the  principle.  Tbis  should  be  done  by  the  class  in  small  sec- 
tions, if  ttlie  class  be  large,  and  not  during  the  hour  of  recita- 
tion. Whatever  suljjocts  are  studied,  the  experiments  which 
the  students  themselves  perform  should  not  he  undertaken  in

Suitable  for  elementary  work.  Excellent  for  use  in  the  eighth 
grade.  The  special  features  of  the  book  are,  the  experiments  may 
be  performed  with  very  simple  and  inexpensive  apparatus ;  they 
are  illustrative  of  fundamental  principles  ;  they  are  interesting  to 
the  pupils  because  they  are  new  to  them  :  while  most  of  them  are 
qualitative,  and.  therefore,  better  adapted  to  the  abilities  and  uses 
of  the  pupils,  enough  of  them  are  quantitative  to  furnish  needed 
training  in  that  line.

mar  school  grades  of  education   in  this  country.      No  one  has  gone 

so  far  toward  solving  the  burning  question  of  nature  teaching,  and 
to  every  instructor  in  these  subjects  this  volume  will  be  not  only 
instructive  hut  inspiring.  I'ulike  the  authors  of  most  of  the  many 
nature-study  manuals  now  current.  I'rofessor  Hodge  has  been  for 
some  years  the  head  of  a  University  Department,  is  a  specialist 
in  two  or  more  of  the  fields  of  biology,  and  has  made  original  con- 
tributions of  value  to  the  sum  of  human  knowledge.  His  mind 
thus  moves  with  independence,  authority,  and  unusual  command 
of  the  resources  in  the  field  here  treated. 

This  work  is  opportune  because  it  stimulates  spontaneous  out- 
of-door  interests.  It  is  with  almndant  reason  that  we  find  now  on 
every  hand  a  growing  fear  of  the  effects  of  excessive  confinement, 
sedentary  attitudes,  and  institutionalizing  influences  in  the  school. 
Such  work  as  is  here  described  must  tend  to  salutary  progress  in 
the  direction  of  heaUh."

1.  The  earth  as  a  planet  and  its  relation  to  the  solar  system. 

2.  A  brief  geological  history  of  the  earth  with  special  referenjce 

to  Wisconsin  and  the  United  States. 

3.  The  land  distribntion  and  the  relief  of  its  various  divisions, — 

volcanoes  and  eai'thquakes. 

4.  The  water  distribution,  continental  drainage,  erosion,  waves, 

tides,  ocean  cuirents,  glaciers,  and  geysers. 

5.  The  atmospheric  inovenients  and  their  causes,  witli  a  careful 

study  of  climate  and  its  causes. 
(If  time  permits,  the  following  subjects  may  be  pursued:) 
0.   Tlie  human  race  as  distributed. 

7.  The  animals  and  plants  as  distributed. 

8.  The  economic  products,  including  variety  of  soil,  distribu- 

tion and  use  of  coal,  ores,  building  stone,  and  natural  gas. 
The  practical  side  of  the  subject  should  not  be  neglected. 
The  rivers,  creeks,  lakes,  bills,  valleys,  railro^ad-cuts,  storins,  the 
sky,  day  and  niglit, — all  furnish  an  opportunity  for  personal 
observation.  The  laboratory  vill  |)robably  furnish  apparatus  for

Lakes,  like  mountains  and  rivers,  have  life  histories  which  exhibit 
varying  stages  from  youth  through  maturity  to  old  age.  The  trac-

ous agencies  that  vary  their  lives,  and  lead  lo  their  death,  gives  to 
this  branch  of  physiography  one  of  its  principal  charms.  The  his-

BOTANY. 

The  aim  that  should  be  insisted  upon  in  the  teaching  of  botany 
in  the  high  school  is  purely  a  pedagogical  one,  namely,  to  make 
of  the  student  to  just  the  extent  of  the  botany  studied,  a  more 
perfect,  more  powerful  man  or  woman.  Wlien  the  course  is 
completed,  the  teacher  should  be  al)le  to  recognize  something 
definite  and  positive  as  having  been  accomplished  in  each  of  the 
following  points: 

The  development  of  originality  and  independence  of  thought. 

The  abilitv  to  see  the  relation  between  cause  and  effect. 

The  faculty  to  observe  closely,  and  to  see  a  thing  in  all  its 
parts  and  bearings.  i 

Training  of  the  hand  to  express  exactly  and  neatly,  either 
by  words  or  by  drawings,  what  the  eye  sees  and  the  mind  con- 
ceives. 

Fixed  habits  of  patient,  unremitting  inquiry. 

The  practical  question  for  the  teacher  of  botany  is  simply 
this:  What  to  select  for  his  pupils  to  study  and  how  to  set 
them  about  it. 

The  first  thins;  that  should  be  done  is  to  work  out  the  condi- 
tions  of  plant  life  and  economy,  as  illustrated  by  typical,  closely 
relat<:'d  flowering  plants.  One  might  say  to  a  class  beginning 
the  studv  of  botanv :  "We  are  to  investigate  during  the  course 
upon  which  we  are  now  starting,  the  question  of  Getting  on  in 
the  world  from  the  standpoint  of  a  plant"  (as,  for  example,  a 
geranium  in  full  flower  placed  before  pupils).  "We  want  to 
find  out  by  very  careful  study  and  experiment  the  conditions, — 
the  elements  (;f  success  in  life,  considered  solely  frcni  the  point 
of  view  of  the  })lants."  Obviously  this  constitutes  a  problem, 
and  ci  problem  just  as  definite  as  a  problem  in  algebra,  or  a 
question  concernine:  the  success  of   anv  man  or  nation.     By 

lot  «^ 

thus  stating  a  problem  that  can  bo  clearly  comprehended  at  the 
outset,  little  time  Mall  be  lost;  there  will   be  no  rambling  or

l>y  step  through  its  develojniuMit  into  the  adult  ])lant,  to  the 
])oint  where  the  seeds  are  once  more  foi-nied,  thus  completing 
the  cycle  of  life.  Of  conrse,  in  all  the  phases  and  stages  of  this 
study  of  a  life  history,  it  is  not  necessary  or  desiralile  for  the 
teacher  to  confine  himself  toi  the  same  plant  or  the  same  species 
of  plants  even.  It  is  sntticiont  that  any  idants  or  parts  of  ])lants 
ho  used  that  are  rejiresentatives  of  a  common  class. 

This  work  should  l)e  done  at  first  JkiikI ;  the  student  should 
have  in  his  own  hands  the  ])lant  or  its  parts  nnder  considera- 
tion, and  should  have,  mjOTeovei\  tools  and  means  with  which 
to  Work.  Keep  pirominent  by  constant  em])liasis  through  the

and  upon  the  mutual  relations  and  interdependence  (d"  the  parts 
of  a  plant. 

In  the  study  of  each  phase  of  rhis  life-pro1)leni  there  should

in  different  plants  to  ada]it  them  more  ]>erfer'tly  tO'  their  ])ecnl-

this  ver\'  imporinut  coin parat ire  )i-oi'l-  is  prop(  rly  developed  by 
the  teacher,  ii  will  hecome  a|i|iar(nt  to  the  pupil  that  there  is 
a  sinoleness,  a  <  neness  in  essential  strucfui-es  and  devices  that

the  (IrnAviiia^s  mi<I  notes  should  bo  completed  at  the  time  tlie  study 
is  made,  niid  i^liuuld  never  be  copied.  Such  a  plan  will  eventu- 
al Iv  lead  l(>  accurate  work  done  at  first  trial;  while  if  the  stu- 
dent is  ]icnnitted  to  make  rough  sketches  and  huridod  descrip- 
scripti.ons  at  ihe  time  he  is  studying  the  plant,  to  be  'Svritten 
u})"  afterwards,  he  will  l)e  encouraged  to  do  careless,  superficial 
observation,  and  inaccurate  work. 

Perhaps  the  most  satisfactory  note  Iwok  is  one  made  from 
lu^avy  paper,  which  can  be  obtained  from  any  printing  office, 
cut  to  a  convenient  size,  and  punched  for  binding  in  some  con- 
venient manner, — the  back  of  an  old  book  or  heavy  manila  card- 
l>oard  maki.ng  a  good  binder.  The  best  pencil  for  the  drawings 
is  a  Fa  her  "0  II."  Good  simple  microscopes  witli  hand-rests 
can  be  had  for  $1.25  each.  Enough  should  be  provided  by  the 
school,  together  with  dissecting  knife  and  ])air  of  needles,  to 
furnish  each  student  wifh  a  set.  Most  of  the  work  of  this  course 
requires  no  use  of  a  compound  microscope;  but  at  times,  in  order 
to  fully  carry  out  the  scheme,  its  need  is  imperative.:,  and  every 
high  school  should  be  supplied  witli  enough  to  make  it  possible 
for  students  to  personally  study  the  microscopic  structure  of  the 
things,  an  understanding  of  which  is  necessary  to  the  full  solu- 
tion of  the  pToblem  they  are  investigating. 

If  jnicroscopes  cannot  be  provided,  thcai  the  teacher  must  sub- 
stitute drawings  on  the  blackboard,  to  be  discussed  aud  inter- 
preted l)y  the  class  together. 

If  the  time  of  the  teacher  is  so  occupied  that  it  is  impossible 
to  devote  a  period  distinct  from  the  recitation  period  to  labora- 
tory work  every  day,  it  will  be  found  the  best  plan  to  alternate 
the  laboratory  work  ^vith  the  recitation.  Less  ground  can  be 
covered  in  that  way,  but  in  a,  much  more  satisfactory  manner 
than  if  the  students  are  left  to  work  by  themselves.  In  many 
cases  the  ground  which  the  teacher  attempts  to  cover  is  far  too 
wild}  :  and  the  result  is  a  superficial  view  that  breeds  a  contempt 
for  the  study.      Be  content  to  do  a  little  thoroughly.

there  is  no  limit, — cxeept  the  limit  set  by  time — to  the  amount 
of  comparative  study  that  nuiy  be  done..  But  a  comparative 
study  of  phmts  implies  a  clearly  defined  point  of  departure, — 
a  ti/pe  tlioroughlif  mastered  on  ^vhich  to  base  comparisons;  and 
with  tltal  acc'iiiiplislied  each  new  i)lant  that  is  introduced  will 
he  alive  with  meaning  based  upon  its  relationships,  and  these 
meanings  will  all  fit  together  to  form  a  perfect  wdiole,  instead 
of  being  a  mass  of  dead,  disconnected  facts,  or  unrelated,  un-

"This  book  offers  (I)  a  series  of  laboratory  exercises  in  the 
morphology  and  physiology  of  phanerogams,  (2)  directions  for  a 
practicable  study  of  typical  cryptogams,  representing  the  chief

of  information  regarding  the  forms,  activities,  and  relationships 
of  plants   and  supplementing  the  laboratory  studies. 

The  practical  exercises  and  experiments  have  been  so  chosen  that 
schools  with  compound  microscopes  and  expensive  laboratory  appa-

"This  volume  is  the  natural  product  of  many  years  devoted  by 
the  author  to  studying  the  speech  and  liabits  of  monkeys.  That 
naturally  led  him  up  to  the  study  of  the  great  apes.  The  matter 
contained  in  this  work  is  chiefly  a  record  of  the  tabulated  facts 
gleaned  from  his  special  field  of  research.  The  aim  in  view  is  to 
convey  to  the  casual  reader  a  more  correct  idea  than  now  prevails 
concerning  the  physical,  mental,  and  social  liabits  of  apes  and 
monkeys  and  to  prepare  him  for  a  wider  appreciation  of  animals 
in  general. 

lieliev'ng  that  a  more  perfect  knowledge  of  these  animals  will 
bring  man  into  closer  fellowship  and  deeper  sympathy  with  nature.

"In  my  ijrevious  bool<s  I  have  tried  to  emphasize  our  kinship 
with  the  animals  by  showing  that  in  them  we  can  find  the  virtues 
most  admired  in  man.  Lobo  stands  for  dignity  and  love-constaiicy  ; 
Silverspot,  for  sagacity  ;  UedrufC,  for  obedience.  In  this  volume, 
Majesty,  Grace,  the  power  of  Wisdom,  the  sweet  uses  of  adversity, 
and  the  two-edged  sorrows  of  rebellion  are  similarly  .set  forth. 
The  material  of  the  accounts  is  true.  The  chief  liberty  taken  is  in 
ascribing  to  one  animal  tlie  adventures  of  several." — From  the 
author's  preface. 

These  stories  may  be  read  and  told  to  the  children  of  the  lower

Mr.  .lol)  Iia-S  for  years  made  a  special  study  of  the  gulls  and 
waterfowl  whose  life  histories  are  the  least  known  of  our  wild  birds. 
His  photographs  (generally  made  with  a  string  over  a  hundred 
yards  long  attached  to  the  camera)  are  marvels  of  intimate  bird 
picturing.  Many  prominent  members  of  the  American  Ornitholog- 
ical T'nion  have  declared  them  une(pialed,  and  ISIr.  Job's  pen  is 
almost  as  ready  as  his  camera.  At  .«ea,  in  the-  far  north,  and  in 
the  swamps  of  Dakota  where  they  breed,  he  has  studied  these  gulls, 
ducks  and  geese  to  such  good  purpose  that  his  entertaining  iian-aiive 
contains  much  of  real  new  information.

"This  volume  is  intended  for  that  large  and  rapidly  growing  class 
of  persons  who,  either  as  oflicials  or  as  citizens,  are  striving  to  Im-  ■ 

prove  municipal   conditions.     It  is   designed  to   be  a  review  of  tlie 

whole  field  of  municipal  engineering  and  sanitation,  rather  than  an  { 

exhaustive  study  of  one  or  a  few  branches  of  the  subject.    The  most  i 

vital  points,  however,   under  each  class   of  activities   and   interests  ! 

have  been  dwelt  upon,  the  underlying  principles  stated,  and,  in  many 
instances,  details  from   actual   practice  given." — Prcfdcr.

This  volume  will  furnish  e.xcellent  material  for  debates  and

During  recent  years  Colonel  Waring  has  revolutionized  the 
cleaning  of  a  great  city.  What  this  means  is  indicated  by  the  state- 
ment that  in  Xew  York  the  death  rate  has  decreased  from  12(!.7S  per 
thousand  inhabitants  to  21.02,  for  which  the  clean  streets  are  en- 
titled to  their  own  largo  share.  It  is  interesting  to  know  that  in 
the  near  future  Colonel  Waring  estimates  that  the  revenu(>  dcrlvi'd 
from  the  city's  waste  will  pay  h.-ilf  the  expenses  of  the  work.  The 
book  will  be  found  of  gri-at  valui-  to  all  students  of  niniiicipal  iiues-

interesting  to  members  of  high  school  literary  societies  who  are 
anxious  to  master  the  art  of  public  speaking.  This  is  not  a  book

those  essential  qualities  of  speech  which  are  necessary  for  good 
public  speaking.  Many  examples  of  oratory  are  given  illustrative 
of  the  special  phases  of  the  subject  emphasized  by  the  author  such 
as  :  "The  call  to  arms"  ;  Patrick  Henry  ;  America's  Duty  to  Greece, 
Henry  Clay  ;  Gettysburg  speecli,  Lincoln  ;  Ueply  to  Hayne,  Web- 
ster ;    Spartacus   to   the  gladiators.

of  reading ;  to  interpret  life ;  to  give  power  and  information ; 
to  uplift  by  giving  new  ideals  and  inspirations;  and  to  cultivate 
a  taste  for  good  reading.  The  pupil  ought' to  be  taught  how  to 
read,  liow  to  handle  a  book,  how  to  use  an  index,  how  to  read 
to  a  topic,  and  liow  to  read  by  skipping. 

LITERARY  MERIT. 

Judgments  in  literary  merit  can  only  be  formed  after  wide 
reading  and  many  comparisons.  As  the  student  ni'akes  these 
comparisons  he  is  building  up  his  conception  of  style.  Is  the 
author  clear  in  his  statements  ?  What  of  his  skill  in  narration 
and  illustration?  Are  his  descriptions  vivid?  IIow  does  he 
interpret  nature  ?  Are  his  men  and  women  real  flesh  auid  blood  ? 
How  does  this  composition  compare  with  others  of  the  same 
kind  ?     AYitli  others  by  the  same  author  ? 

WHAT  TO  READ, 

''If  literature  lie  the  life  of  the  people,  it  should  also  prepare 
for  that  kind  of  life  in  which  the  child  is  forced  to  live,  imme- 
diately after  passing  out  of  school.  While  there  may  bo  room 
for  discussion  as  to  the  style  in  which  thought  should  be  ex- 
pressed, it  is  beyond  dispute  that  the  clearest  writers,  those  who 
use  the  language  to  express  unmistakably  what  they  mean,  those 
who  deal  with  subjects  that  are  nearest  to  the  daily  life  of  the 
people  themselves,  ought  to  become  a  part  of  the  mental  fur- 
nishing of  each  high  school  pupil."--!.  M.  Greenwood. 

Lists  of  novels,  essayists,  and  poets  in  the  library  should  be 
made  out,  from  which  pupils  may  select  what  they  wish  to  read. 
At  least  six  novels  should  be  read,  each  liy  a.  different  author, 
part  of  them  portraying  life  and  part  of  them  character.  The 
students  should  read  enough,  poetry  by  six  different  poets  and 
essays  by  six  different  essayists  to  get  a  fair  idea  of  their  way 
of  writing,  as  well  as  to  get  the  uplift  and  power  which  come 
from  reading.  It  is  best  to  have  all  in  the  class  reading  novels, 
poetry,  or  essays  at  the  same  time,—  though  after  the  first  two 


LIST  OF  BOOKS  FOR  HIGH  SCHOOL  LIBRARIES.  287 


or  three  pieces  of  literature  read  together  to  s'how  how  to  study, 
it  is  best  to  have  students  read  different  works  of  literature  in 
any  one  line.  The  library  law  providing  for  libraries  in  the 
schools  now  extends  to  higli  schools  in  cities  of  the  fourth  class, 
so  that  schools  ought  to  have  books  to  cany  on  this  work. 
Teachers  will  find  the  notes  on  the  books  in  this  list  especially 
valuable  in  teaching  literature  and  directing  literary  readings. 


PLACE  OF  niSTOEY  OF  LITERATURE^ BIOGRAPHY  AND  LITERARY 

CRITICISM. 

History  of  literahtre  :  A  short  course  in  history  of  literature, 
• — taking  the  history  in  great  epochs, — these  epochs  based  upon 
the  kind  of  literatui-c  produced, — may  be  of  value  in  the  study  of 
literature.  Tlie  history  should  serve  as  a  frame-work  to  keep  the 
reading  organized  and  to  help  the  student  to  get  some  idea  of  the 
entirety  of  literature.  In  the  study  of  the  history  of  literature 
some  of  the  most  typical  pieces  of  literature  miglit  bo  read  in  a 
cui*sory  way.  It  ^vill  scarcely  lie  licst  to  attempt  anything  be- 
fore the  period  of  Shakespeare. 

The  histoiy  of  literature  should  com©  in  the  last  term's  work 
in  litxjrature. 

Place  of  biofjraphij:  When  the  student  becomes  so  filled  -udth 
the  writings  of  any  author  that  his  personality  becomes  of  in- 
terest then  the  biography  may  be  read  with  ]»rofit.  But  the 
Inography  of  an  aulliof  -li<iiild  always  ]yo  approaclicd  tlirough  his

l)est  of  himself. 

Place  of  the  Icxl-book  and  literary  criticism  :  After  the  stu- 
dent has  read  and  made  his  judgments  it  is  well  to  compare 
these  judgments  with  those  of  critics,  as  found  in  his  text-book, 
periodicals,  and  essays  in  criticism.  The  text-book  should 
alwavs  be  an  aid  in  the  work,  not  nn  otd.     When  tliO  studv  of

THE  RECITATION. 

In  bciiinninff  the  work  in  anv  form  of  literature  it  is  well  t(j 
take  one  book  or  piece  of  literature,  and  for  teachers  and  pupils 
to  work  together  until  the  pupils  gain  some  insight  into  the  right 
way  of  reading. 

Foi'  pcHon  is  siKjgestcd :  Ivanhoc- — a  picture  of  past  life. 
Silas  ]\[arner — a  study  of  character  development.  Rise  of  Silas 
Lapham — a  study  of  American,  life,  a  novel  of  theme  and  a 
novel  of  character  study. 

For  poelnj  is  siujf/eslcd :  Vision  of  Sir  Launfal,  Lady  of  the 
Lake,  The  Princess,  or  a  similar  long  poem  which  furnishes  suf- 
ficient variety  to  cover  wtu-k  outlined  under  poetry. 

For  essays  is  suggesled :  Hunting  of  the  Deer,  or  any  sh<)rt 
essay  from  pupils'  readers. 

Then  let  the  pupil  select  from  a  given  list  of  books  such  as  he 
Avill  like  to  read, — tlie  teacher  guiding  the  choice  throug-li  the 
])U})ils'  interests.  In  his  -^tudy  and  recitations  he  should  follow 
the  models,  studied  with  the  teacher. 

The  work  iu  reading  and  in  class  should  be  definite  and  clear. 
The  student's  judgments  should  be  based  upon  facts  he  can  point 
out.  It  is  not  enoiioii  that  he  savs  the  music  is  smooth  and 
flowing — he  must  recite  or  read  the  portions  he  considers 
"smooth  aiul  flowing"  and  tell  what  makes  them  so.  If  he  call 
a  poem  imaginative  he  must  prove  his  statement  l\y  selecting 
the  imaginative  portions.

leges is  calculated  to  kill  any  love  for  it.  It  seems  to  me  I 
\vould  lose  my  love  of  Shakespeare  if  I  had  to  dissect  him,  and 
find  out  the  meaning  of  every  word  and  expression.  I  want  to 
I'ide  buo^-antly  over  the  waves.  I  want  to  feel  the  wind  and  the

it  in  a  different  way.  You  must  lie  fluid.  All  I  should  hope  to 
do  would  be  to  give  the  student  the  key  to  the  best  literature. 
We  would  read  books  together.  We  would  read  good  books  and 
we  would  read  poor  books.  I  would  say,  Svell,  we  won't  talk;

LINES   OF   READING. 

Literary  reading  should  include  all  lines  of  reading.  So  far 
as  possililo  the  pupils  should  be  giiided  in  their  choice  of  reading 
through  their  interests.  Lists  of  books  which  are  in  the  library 
should  bo  made  out  in  the  various  lines  of  reading  from  which 
the  |»u[)ils  may  select  the  liooks  they  wish  to  read.  It  is  not 
necessary  that  all  the  jjupils  in  a,  class  read  the  sa(me  book,  or 
books  on  the  same  su])ject.  'Nor  is  it  necessary  that  a  pupil  read 
a  book  from  cover  to  cover.  Many  times  only  a  portion  of  a, 
book  will  appeal  to  a  pupil — or  be  of  value  to  him.  This  is 
especially  so    in    science    liooks,    books    of    poetry,  and    books

INTERESTS. 

The  teacher  cannot  gnide  the  pupils'  reading-  unless  she  makes 
a  careful  study  of  their  interests  and  needs.  She  must  lead 
them  from  the  interests  of  today  to  higher  and  wider  interests 
and  utilize  at  every  step  interests  gained  in  other  linos  of  work. 
She  must  take  advantage  of  interests  closely  related  to  old  in- 
terests, or  those  naturally  gTOwing  out  of  old  interests;  in- 
terests created  by  pupils'  environment,  as  Indian  relics  in  Wis- 
consin;  interests  in  current  events  coming  to  his  notice;  as, 
a  circus  in  tOAvn,  the  Spanish- Auierican  War,  the  celebration  of 
Washington's  Birthday,  etc.,  etc. ;  interests  created  by  airother's 
interests;  as  reading  a  book  because  another  says  it  is  good. 
Make  the  ])ni)iTs  present  interest  the  basis  which  shall  determine 
bis  present  lino  of  reading.  Tf  he  is  interested  in  fiction  only, 
llici)  ii-ivc  him  a  list  of  fiction  from:  which  ho  nniy  select  a  book 
to  read.  YiX  ([nestioning,  by  directing  his  attention,  (.r  arousing 
his  curiosity,  he  may  bo  made  interested  in  some  character,  place, 
fact,  or  event  in  the  book,  and  this  interest  may  be  made  the  basis 
for  future  reading.  Thus  a  pupil  reading  Ivanhoe  may  be  led 
to  read  English  history  by  arousing  an  interest  in  Eichard,  the 
Lion-Hearted.  Again,  a  pupil  who  has  read  a  story  of  Holland 
may  be  led  to  read  a  book  of  travel  in  Holland,  l>ecausc  of  interest 
aronsed  in  the  manners  and  customs  of  that  country.  Tf  the 
])ni)ils'  present  interest  is  in  history,  science,  or  olhci'  lint'S  of 
work,  a  similar  plan  may  be  pursued.  The  work  will  have  to  be 
largely  individual.

THE   EECITATIOX. 

For  convenience  the  classes  should  he  divided  into  groups — 
the  smaller,  the  hotter;  each  group  meeting  the  teacher  twice 
a  week  for  forty  or  foi*ty-iive  minutes  to  report. 

The  recitations  .sluaihl  consist  of  reports  of  what  has  heen 
read,  and  these  reports  should  he  oral.  The  recitati(ui  ( night 
to  be  an  exchange  of  impressions  and  feelings,  a  talking  over  of 
Mdiat  has  been  found  enjoyable,  good,  beautifid,  and  helpful. 
The  pupil  nutkes  his  report  as  a  contributicui  to  the  whole  and 
stands  ready  to  ansAver  questions  by  his  class-mates  and  teachers; 
to  discuss  with  them  what  he  has  found;  and  to  compare  his 
jtidgments  with  theirs.  Thus  all  take  part  in  the  recitation  and 
attention  is  secured.  The  reports  should  not  be  t<;o  much  in  de- 
tail and  should  follow  in  oeneral  the  i>lan  of  reading  outlined 
in  Lifcidliire.  It  is  not  necessary  that  the  students  in  any  one 
group  reaxl  and  report  on  the  same  book  or  on  different  books  in

cl 75        .  fi? 

"The  aim  of  tliis  manual  is  to  facilitate  the  systematic,  careful. 
end  appreciative  study  of  literature  as  literature.  It  coiiceiitrales 
attention  upon  the  text  itself,  iml  upon  editorial  exidanal  ion  or 
comment.  It  furnishes  means  by  which  the  student  may  ascertain 
for  himself  the  chief  characteristics  of  the  hook  studied.  It  ac- 
quaints him  with  thr  fundamental  princiiiles  of  literary  construc- 
tion, and  asks  him  to  decide  for  himself  how  far  these  principles 
have  been  observed.  Not  to  present  ready-made  opinions  for  his 
acceptance,  but  to  teach  him  to  see  for  himself  and  to  judge  for 
himself  is  the  aim   throujihouf. 

Each  hook  is  treated  as  a  type,  a  representative  of  a  class,  so 
that  the  study  of  a  few  books  may  oi)en  the  way  to  the  apprecia- 
tion   of   many. 

Outlines  are  given  for  the  study  of  six  literary  types:  in  poetry, 
the  epic,  lyric,  and  drama  :  in  prose,  liction.  tiie  essay,  and  the  ora-

"An  attempt  has  here  been  made  to  present  the  history  of  Eng- 
lish literature  from  the  earliest  times  to  our  own  day,  in  a  histori- 
cal scheme  simple  enough  to  be  apprehended  by  young  students, 
yet  accurate  and  substantial  enough  to  serve  as  a  permanent 
basis  for  study,  however  far  the  subject  is  pursued.  But  within 
the  limits  of  this  formal  scheme,  the  fact  has  been  held  constantly 
in  mind  that  literature,  being  the  vital  and  fluid  thing  it  is,  must 
be  taught,  if  at  all,  more  by  suggestion,  and  by  stimulation  of  the 
student's  own  instinctive  mental  life,  than  by  dogmatic  asser- 
tion."-— Preface. 

Emphasis  has  been  placed  upon  the  chief  authors  of  each  era  and 
many  minor  writers  who  are  given  unnecessary  space  in  some  texts 
are  omitted.  An  excellent  working  bibliography  for  further  read-

of  tlie  Roses,  and  the  reigns  of  tlie  Tudors  were  set  fortli  in  a  long 
series  of  chronicle  plays  and  historical  dramas.  In  these,  as  in 
the  lyrics  and  ballads  that  more  commonly  express  the  Stuart 
reigns,  the  tendency  is  to  concentrate  attention  on  royal  and  noble 
p(>rsonages  rather  than  on  the  life  of  the  nation  as  a  whole.  It  is 
a  stately  and  a  tragic  story  as  the  poets  tell  it, — too  stately  and 
too  tragic  to  give  an  altogether  just  impression  of  the  growth  of 
a  great  people ;  but  it  furnishes  the  dramatic  outline  to  which  a 
fuller    knowledge   may   easily   relate    itself. 

The  present  book  illustrates,  by  carefully  chosen  selections  from 
English  poetry,  the  history  of  England  from  Queen  Boadicea  to 
Queen  Vjptoria.  Notes  introductory  to  the  selections  carry  on  a 
connected  account  of  principal  events  and  make  manifest  the  his- 
toric bearing  of  each  poem.  Further  notes,  at  the  end  of  the  book, 
explain  allusions  and  difficulties  in  the  text,  and  also  set  the  poets 
right  in  flagrant  cases  of  misreporting." — Preface.

riCTIOK. 

Hamilton  JMabie  says: — "The  novel  is  eontenipoTaneoiis  ^vith 
a  iK'Av  and  deepening  consciousness  of  human  relationship  and 
ohligatioii.  Today  we  feel  more  distinctly  thau  ever  before  the 
pervasive  influence  of  other  lives  upon  our  lives.  We  are 
weighted  down  as  never  before  by  a  sense  of  our  incalculable  ob- 
lio-ations  to  our  fellows.  We  no  longer  think  of  ourselves  as 
alone,  but  always  in  the  thick  of  relationships  of  every  kind  and 
quality, — in  the  solitude  of  our  own  souls  we  are  conscious  of  the 
whole  conscious,  suffering  world  about  us." 

Fiction:  Miction  portrays  life  on  the  social  side  as  no  other 
form  of  literature  does.  Social  conditions,  standards,  forces, 
and  conventions  are  revealed,  and  the  problem  of  the  individual 
life  is  worked  out  with  full  recognition  of  countless  social  in- 
fluences. 

Special  aims  in  studying  fiction : — 

a.  To  enjoy  the  story. 

b.  To  picture  life  portrayed. 

c.  To  judge  character  portrayed. 

d.  To  trace  character  development. 

NOVELS  POKTKAYING  LIFE. 

''By  sympatlietic  insight  into  life  of  the  most  diverse  aspects 
and  under  the  most  diverse  conditions  it  (the  novel)  quickens 
C'Ur  appreciation  of  the  life  each  of  us  can  see  around  him,  makes 
us  more  tolerant  of  the  difl'erences  of  taste  and  character  in  our 
neighbor,  more  awake  to  the  humor  and  pur|X)se  of  this  existence 
of  ours.     In  a  word,  the  novel  gives  us  humanity." 

To  picture  the  life  portrayed  study  the  things  which  go  to  make 
up  the  life  of  any  community — descriptions  of  the  environment, 
characters  as  types,  appearance  and  dress,  food,  homes,  and  sur- 
roundings, aniusements,  religion,  occupations,  education,  and 
language. 

Much  of  the  material  found  in  novels  portraying  life,  can  be 
used  in  geograj^hy.

in  the  character,  and  study  the  conditions,  ideals,  and  forces  sur-

HISTORICAL  NOVELS. 

Historical  nction  makes  histoiy  real  for  it  reveals  not  only  the 
life  but  the  spirit  of  the  times.  Properly  read  it  helps  the  pupil 
to  see  and  feel  history.  Manners  and  customs,  that  is  characters 
as  ty|3es,  homes,  surroundings,  food,  clothing,  ways  of  travel, 
amusements,  occupations,  mode  of  warfare,  language,  religion, 
etc.,  etc., "as  touched  upon  in  the  story  should  be  noted.  The  his- 
torical events  upon  which  the  story  is  based  should  be  read.  The 
teaciher  should  help  the  pupils  tO'  fomn  higli  ideals  of  life  and 
character,  and  encourage  tlicni  to  admire  I  ho  good,  tlio  true,  tlic 
noble. 

GOOD  STORIES. 

Let  the  pupils  read  some  books  simply  for  the  joy  of  reading. 
The  story  of  adventure  will  always  interest  the  pupil  and  in  se- 
lecting these  care  has.  been  taken  that  they  are  not  sensatinii;il 
and  not  such  as  will  lead  him  to  poorer  literature. 

Above  all,  give  the  pupils  liealthy,  simple  and  pui-olovo  stories. 
Tliey  are  bound  to  read  tliem,  and  unless  they  can  get  them  from 
the  library,  they  will  get  Ihcm  cl-cwlicre  and  most  likely  they

n.  d.     600  p.     D.     cl 

Tlie  scene  of  the  story  is  in  England  at  the  time  of  the  "War  of 
Roses".  The  aim  has  been  to  illustrate  the  actual  history  of  the 
period,  and  to  bring  into  a  fuller  display  than  History  has,  the 
characters  of  the  principal  personages  of  the  time  ;  the  motives  by 
which  they  were  actuated  ;  the  state  of  parties  ;  the  condition  of 
the  people ;  and  the  great  social  interests  which  were  involved  in 
what,  regarded  imperfectly,  appear  but  the  feuds  of  rival  factions. 

The  liero  is  Richard  Neville,  earl  of  Warwick,  whose  downfall  is 
the  main  point  of  the  stoi-y. 

Pupils  will  gain  a  better  idea  of  this  important  age,  character- 
ized by  the  decline  of  the  feudal  system,  and  immediately  preceding 
the  great  change  in  society  whicli  is  usually  dated  from  the  acces- 
sion of  Henry  VII  by  reading  this  booii  than  he  will  get  from  wad-

Co.,   C1889.     404   p.     il.     D.     cl 1.50 

"In  this  story  the  author  has  aimed  to  furnish  true  pictures  of 
scenes  in  the  great  civil  war,  and  not  to  produce  spnsational  effects. 
The  incidents  of  the  book  are  real  ones,  drawn  in  part  from  the 
writer  s  personal  experiences  and  observations,  as  a  soldier  of  the 
Union,  during  that  war.  He  is  also  indebted  to  many  comrades 
for  reminiscences  of  battle  and  prison  life.  The  perilous  escape 
of  Jed  and  Dick  from  Andersonville  down  the  Flint  and  Apalachi- 
cola  rivers,  to  the  Gulf  of  ISIe.xico,  is  in  substance  the  narrative  of 
a  comrade  whom  the  writer  knew  at  Andersonville,  and  afterwards 
met  when  the  war  closed.  'I'he  descriptions  of  the  prison  are  espe- 
cially truthful,  for  in  them  the  ,'iuthor  briefly  tells  what  he  himself 
saw. 

There  is  not  a  description  of  battle  or  camp  scene  in  the  book 
that  is  not  as  faithful  to  the  reality  as  the  author  can  make  it,  and 
he  believes  that  these  sketches  will  be  recognized  as  true  by  the 
veterans  of  the  war  who  may  chance  to  read  them." — Preface.

Hawthorne.  N.  Y.,  Thos.  Y.  Crowell  &  Co.,  ^1899. 
253  p.     S.     cl 60       .40 

"The  short  stories  of  Nathaniel  Hawthorne  may  be  described 
as  black-and-white  work  leading  up  to  the  great  canvasses  which 
best  display  his  power:  The  Scarlet  Letter  and  the  other  full- 
length  novels.  Most  of  them  belong  to  the  Salem  days  when  Haw- 
thorne, a  lonely  recluse,  was  impelled  to  body  forth  his  imagin- 
ings and,  looking  into  liis  own  heart,  expressed  in  terms  of  human- 
ity as  he  then  knew  it,  the  symbolic  significances  of  the  eternal 
spirit  of  man.  The  qualities  of  the  tales  are  derived  from  his  prime 
characteristics  as  a  young  man,  conditioned  by  the  somewhat  bleak 
eavironment  in  which  they  were  produced.  For  this  very  reason 
these  stories  are,  after  all.  as  typical  as  anything  he  ever  did  and 
well-nigh  as  interesting  ;  while  they  may  not  show  us  Hawthorne 
in  his  master  years  nor  illustrate  tlie  rich  maturity  of  a  great 
artist,  they  do  have  the  impress  of  his  essential  features  ;  they  are 
Hawtliornesque  to  the  core." — Preface.

"The  experiences  in  Ireland  of  Penelope,  Francesca,  and  Salem-

made  such  amusing  excursions  through  England  and  Scotland.  The 
quality  of  the  books  defies  definition.  It  is  all  spontaneous  fun, 
innocent  mischief,  and  pure  sentiment, — elusive  in  definition,  but 
most  certain  in  entertainment.  The  three  friends  visit  picturesque 
localities  and  out  of  the  way  places,  every  turn  of  the  road  making 
its  contribution  to  their  joyous  progress.  The  narrative  is  mostly 
of  travel  and  sigiit-seeiug,  but  there  is  also  a  sprightly  romance 
in  which  Salemina  falls  a  victim  to  an  Irish  lover."

"As  the  Indians  have  no  written  characters,  memorable  events 
are  retained  only  in  the  minds  of  the  people,  and  are  handed  down 
by  the  elders  to  their  children,  and  by  these  again  transmitted  to 
their  children,  so  passing  from  generation  to  generation.  Until 
recent  years,  one  of  the  sacred  duties  of  certain  elders  of  the  tribes 
was  the  handing  down  of  these  histories  to  their  successors.  As 
they  repeated  them,  they  impressed  upon  the  hearer  the  importance 
of  remembering  the  stories  precisely  as  told,  and  of  telling  them 
again  exactly  as  he  had  received  them  ;  neither  adding  nor  taking 
away  any  thing.  Thus  early  taught  his  duty,  each  listener  strove 
to  iH'rform  it,  and  (o  impress  on  those  whom  he  in  turn  instructed 
a  similar  obligation." — Preface.

Froissart's  Chronicle  is.  in  a  certain  sense,  a  sort  of  continua- 
tion of  Malory's  novel.  Malory's  book  gives  a  picture  of  knight- 
hood in  tlie  twelfth  and  thirteenth  centuries,  while  Froissart's  is 
a   i)icture  of  knighthood   in   the   fourteenth  century. 

I^roissart  gives  us  real  events  occurr'ng  in  definite  localities 
while  Malory's  King  Arthur   is  unhistorieal.

The  introduction  gives  a  short  history  (if  the  sources  of  the  cycle 
of  .Arthurian  romances  which  will  lie  helpful  to  the  student  of  Eng- 
lish literature.  These  romances  should  lie  read  by  the  classes  in 
Knglisb  literature  and  English  history.  It  gives  a  picture  of 
knighthood  in  the  twelfth  and  thirteenth  centuries.  The  only 
changes  from  Malory's  King  Arthur  are  a  modernization  of  the 
spelling  and  a  culling  out  of  some  parts  of  the  story.

POETRY. 

Poetry  portrays  tlic  emotional  side  of  life.  It  breathes  tlie 
joys,  liopes,  fears,  sorrows,  strivings,  and  aspirations  of  hnman- 
ity.  It  gives  ns  tlio  divine  fire  of  genins,  teaches  us  the  love 
if  the  beautiful,  swings  \\r  iiitt^.  the  world  of  imagination,  and 
(  ncourages  us  to  do  and  to  be.  A  })oem  is  a  Avork  of  art  to  be  ad- 
mired, and  enjoyed,  ajid  felt.  IMusie,  beauty,  imagination,  pas- 
sion, insight,  inspiration,  and  faith  are  the  essential  character- 
istics of  poetiy  and  these  are  v/lmt  should  be  studied. 

Music:  Ivoad  tlie  poetry  to  the  pupils  so  as  to  bring  out  the 
uiusic  and  let  them  read  it  that  way.  They  will  soon  find  that 
music  is  varied,  sonietimes  smooth  and  flowing;  again,  rough  and 
broken;  sometimes  light  and  quick,  again  heavy  and  slow  mov- 
ing. Analyzing  a  number  of  poems  by  a  single  poet  they  will 
find  tliat  there  is  a  sameness  a,1)Out  his  way  of  singing;  that 
Tennyson's  music  is  varied,  polished  and  exquisite ;  that  Bryant's 
music  is  deep,  full,  and  resounding;  that  Kiley's  is  dainty  and 
light.  Comparisons  of  different  poets  will  lead  to  a,  better  under- 
standing of  each  one. 

Beaut ij:  Ask  the  pu]>ils  to  select  the  beautiful  pictures  aaid 
read  them  to  the  class.  Ask  them  to  see  these  pictures  as  they 
are  read,  and  encourage  them  to  admire.  Let  them  gather  to- 
gether the  beautiful  pictures  painted  by  the  poets  and  compare, 
and  they  will  find  that  Scott's  pictures  are  highly  colored;  that 
Tennyson  gives  us  exquisite  landscapes  and  beautiful  pen  por- 
traits; that  Byron  paints  nature  in  her  grandeur;  that  Lowell's 
pictures  are  full  of  life  and  l>eauty.  A  careful  study  of  how 
these  pictures  are  pairded  will  bring  out  that  some  are  in  detail, 
some  in  liroad  strokes,  some  clearly  outlined  and  some  only  sug- 
gested. 

Passion^  inspiration,  insi(]lit,  irutli  and  faitli :  Call  for  tlie 
passages  the  pupils  like  best  and  nearly  always  they  will  select 
those  expressing  passion,  inspiration,  insight,  tnith,  and  faith. 
Because  they  select  them,  be  sure  they  appreciate  them  to  some

hevoiid  the  svndiol,  (he  essence,  and  that  is  insight.  They  will

1447.  Lyrics  of  lowly  life.  Paul  Laurence  Dunbar.  Intro-

Mr.  Dunbar  is  a  negro,  born  of  negroes  wlio  were  slaves,  and  in 
whom  there  was  no  admixture  of  white  blood.  He  was  an  elevator- 
boy  before  and  after  lie  began  to  write  poems.  Knowing  these  facts 
it  seems  almost  a  miracle  that  he  should  liave  produced  this  vol- 
ume. Mr.  Howells  thinks  the  most  original  poems  in  the  collection 
are  those  written  in  the  negro  dialect  and  believes  them  a  distinctly 
new  contribution  to  our  literature.  Of  the  whole  volume  lie  says, 
"He  has  at  least  produced  something  that,  however  we  may  criti- 
cally disagree  about  it,  we  cannot  well  refuse  to  enjoy  ;  in  more 
than  one  piece  he  has  produced  a  work  of  art."

"This  book  has  been  prepared  for  an  audience  of  general  readers. 
It  naturally  does  not  aim  at  appealing  to  the  circle  who  read  the 
poem  in  the  original  :  nor  has  there  been  any  attempt  to  adapt  it 
to  the  requirements  of  those  students  who  look  upon  English  litera- 
ture as  a  subject  for  examination  to  be  'got  up'  from  'set  books'. 
My  rendering  is  not  a  line-for-line  translation.  But  it  has  been 
prepared  for  an  increasing  number  of  readers  who,  without  being 
scholars  in  Early  English,  are  yet  sufliciently  interested  in  our 
early  literature  to  wish  to  read  Tiers  the  Plowman  for  themselves, 
either  as  pure  literature,  or  in  order  to  find  the  social  history  in  it. 
In  connection  with  the  teaching  of  English  literature  in  schools, 
and  with  lectures  of  different  kinds  under  the  University  Extension 
system,  I  hope  the  book  may  also  be  of  use." — Preface.

The  Comedies  of  Aristophanes  reOect  the  opinions  of  tlio  opposi-

They  give  good  pictures  of  the  social  and  private  life  of  the  time. 

"Aristophanes  was  the  greatest  of  the  Greek  comic  poets.  His 
comedies  unite  elements  which  meet  nowhere  in  literature.  There 
is  a  pla.v  of  fancy  as  extravagant  as  in  a  modern  burlescpie,  a 
humor  as  delicate,  a  literary  satire  as  keen,  as  the  most  e.\(iuisite 
wit  could  offer  to  the  most  subtle  appreciation.  There  are  lyric

Polybius  was  the  best  qualified  historian  of  ancient  times, 
being  noted  for  his  breadth  of  view  and  his  fairness.  His  purpose 
was  to  trace  the  growth  of  Roman  power,  throughout  the  Medi- 
terranean world,  and  to  include  the  events  in  Greece  during  the 
Roman    conquest.

Pliny's  letters  are  valuable  for  the  picture  they  give  of  the 
events  and  opinions  of  the  Augustan  Age.  The  letters  between 
Trojan  and  Pliny,  when  Pliny  was  governor,  gave  the  attitude

"In  no  country  in  tlic  world  is  the  necessity  of  the  study  of 
political  science  and  political  economy  greater  than  in  the  United 
States,  in  which  every  citizen  is,  directly  or  indirectly, — through 
the  medium  of  his  vote — a  legislator  ;  and  yet,  in  no  great  coun- 
try, perhaps,  has  the  study  of  politics  as  a  science  been  so  utterly 
neglected.  Our  experience  as  a  people  during  the  last  decade  has 
demonstrated  how  very  important  it  is  to  lay  before  the  great  body 
of  readers  reliable  works  to  which  they  may  refer,  wlien  occasion 
requires,  for  the  principles  by  which  all  great  national  questions 
are  solved.  The  people  of  the  United  States  for  the  past  ten 
years,  to  go  no  farther  back  in  their  history,  have  been,  so  to  speak, 
one  great  debating  club,  discussing  such  questions  as  the  resump- 
tion of  specie  payments,  contraction  of  the  currency,  inflation  of 
the  currency,  money,  paper  money,  the  nature  and  cure  of  commer- 
cial depressions,  the  demonetization  of  silver,  banks,  savings 
banks,  bi-metalli.'^m,  the  relations  of  capital  and  labor,  tlie  riglit  of 
employment,  socialism,  communism,  strikes,  railroad  policy,  civil 
service,  civil  service  reform,  etc. 

Other  questions  equally  important  are  springing  up  every  year, 
both  in  the  national  and  state  legislatures,  questions  relating  to  in- 
terest, the  hours  of  labor,  taxation,  temperance,  etc.  These  and 
kindred  questions  are,  or  may  very  easily  become,  questions  of  pr&c-

1576.  Dictionary  of  English  synonyms  and  synonymous  or

to  aptness  and  variety  of  phraseology.  Richard 
Sotile.  New  ed.  rev.,  and  enl.  by  George  H.  Howi-

O.      cl 2.00     1.30 

Tlie  aim  of  this  book  has  been  to  pre.sent  at  a  single  glance  the 
words  or  modes  of  speech  which  denote  the  same  object,  or  which 
express  the  same  general  idea,  with  only  slight  shades  of  differ- 
ence. There  has  been  no  attempt  at  elaborate  discussion  of  the 
nice  distinctions  that  obtain  between  words  apparently  synony- 
mous; but  hints  of  such  distinctions  have  been  given  whenever  it 
was  practicable   to   give  them   briefly   in   a  parenthetical   remark. 

No  high  school  library  can  l)e  considered  complete  without  a  dic- 
tionary of  synonyms.  One  often  flnds  it  necessary,  for  the  sake 
of  emphasis,  to  repeat  the  same  idea,  and,  to  avoid  monotony,  a 
variety  of  expression  is  rocpiired.  This  book  will  be  found  helpful 
in  this  direction.  Again,  when  one  is  at  a  loss  for  a  word  or  an 
expression  which  will  suit  a  particular  turn  of  thought,  or  mood  of 
the  mind,  this  dictionary  will  be  found  of  great  assistance.

furnish  those  who  consult  it  with  the  plot  of  popular  dramas,  the 

story  of  epic  poems,  and  the  outline  of  well-known  tales. 

"It  gives  in  a  few  lines  the  story  of  Homer's  Iliad  and  Odys- 
sey, of  Virgil's  Aeneid,  Lucan's  Pliarsalia,  and  the  Thebaid  of 
Statius ;  of  Dante's  Divine  Comedy,  Ariosto's  Orlando  Furioso, 
and  Tasso's  Jerusalem  delivered  ;  of  Milton's  Paradise  lost  and 
Paradise  regained  ;  of  Thompson's  Seasons  ;  of  Ossian's  Tales,  the 
Nibelungen  Lied  of  the  German  minnesingers,  the  Romance  of  the 
Rose,  the  Lusiad  of  Camoens,  the  Loves  of  Theagenes  and  Charic- 
leia  by  Heliodorus  (fourth  century),  with  the  several  story  poems 
of  Chaucer,  Gower,  Piers  Plowman,  Ilawes,  Spenser,  Drayton, 
Phineas  Fletcher,  Prior,  Goldsmith,  Campbell,  Southey,  Byron, 
Scott,  Moore,  Tennyson,  Longfellow,  and  so  on.  Far  from  limiting 
its  scope  to  poets,  the  Handbook  tells,  with  similar  brevity,  the 
stories  of  our  national  fairy  tales  and  romances,  such  novels  as 
those  by  Charles  Dickens,  Vanity  Fair  by  Thackeray,  the  Rasselas 
by  Johnson,  Gulliver's  Travels  by  Swift,  the  Sentimental  Journey 
by  Sterne,  Don  Quixote  and  Gil  Bias,  Telemachus  by  Fenelon, 
and  Undine  by  De  la  Motte  Fouque.  Great  pains  have  been  taken 
with  the  Arthurian  stories,  whether  from  Sir  T.  Malory's  collection 
or  from  the  Mabinogion,  because  Tennyson  has  brought  them  to  the 
front  in  his  Idylls  of  the  King,  and  the  number  of  dramatic  plots 
sketched  out  is  many  hundreds. 

"Another  striking  and  interesting  feature  of  the  book  is  the 
revelation  of  the  source  from  which  dramatists  and  romancers  have 
derived  their  stories,  and  the  strange  repetitions  of  historic  inci- 
dents." 

Two  appendices  are  added.  The  first  contains  the  name,  birth- 
place, dates  of  birth  and  death,  and  a  pretty  full  list  of  works 
(first  editions,  dated)  of  our  principal  authors." 

"Appendix  II  contains  the  names  and  dates  of  the  ancient 
Greek  and  Latin  plays,  with  those  of  the  best-known  trauBlations 
and  imitations  ;  the  names  and  dates  of  those  French  and  German 
dramas  which  have  been  adapted  to  the  English  stage,  or  have  been 
borrowed  from  our  own  dramatists ;  and  the  titles,  names,  and 
dates  of  some  thousands  of  British  plays."

Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that  the  legislature  of  1899

incorporated  villages  and  cities  of  the  fourth  class. 

It  also  modified  the  law  relating  to  the  funds  from  towns 
having  joint  districts.  (See  section  below.)  The  time  for 
purchasing  books  is  now  from  May  first  tO'  September  first. 

Special  notice  is  called  to  that  portion  of  the  law  which  pro- 
vides that  all  books  purchased  with  the  funds  hereby  provided 
for,  must  be  selected  from  the  list  prepared  by  the  state  super- 
intendent.

equal  to  ten  cents  per  capita  for  each  person  of  school  age  re- 
siding therein,  for  the  purchase  of  library  books  as  hereinafter 
provided.

transmit  to  the  treasurer  of  the  town,  village  or  city  in  which 
the  schoolhouse  or  houses  may  be  located,  on  or  before  the  first

To  treasurers  of  towns,  villages,  and  cities  of  the  fourth  class — 
Section  486a  of  the  statutes  of  1898,  as  amended  by  chapter 
272  of  the  laws  of  1899,  rocpiires  that  you  shall  withhold  each 
year  from  the  a[)|)!iri  innmciit  received  from  the  school  fund  or 
other  income,  for  (he  school  district  or  districts  the  schoolhouse 
or  schoothoHscs  of  which  are  located  in-  your  town,  village,  or 
city,  ten  cents  for  each  })erson  between  the  ages  of  four  and 
twenty  years  residing  therein,  for  the  purchase  of  library  books 
for  such  districts. 

Tf  there  are  no  joint  districts  in  the  town,  it  will  be  evident 
that  the  sum  to  be  withheld  amounts  to  l^n  cents  for  each  child 
of  school  age  residing  within  the  town.  If  there  are  joint  dis- 
tricts, and  the  schoolhouses  of  these  districts  are  located  in  your 
town,  village  or  city,  y(»u  must  withhold  froin  the  school  funds 
apportioned  to  you,  ten  cents  for  each  child  of  school  age  resid- 
ing in  that  part  of  the  joint  scho<:d  district  lying  outside  your 
town  in  addition  to  the  amount  withheld  for  the  districts  lying 
wholly  Avithin  your  town,  village,  or  city.  If  in  any  joint  dis- 
trict the  schoolhouse  is  not  located  in  your  town,  you  should  not 
Avithhold  any  money  for  that  portion  of  the  district  lying  in 
your  town  to  be  paid  to  the  town  clerk ;  but  should  set  aside  ten

cities,  or  secretaries  of  boards  of  school  directors  in  towns  hav- 
ing the  township  system  of  school  organization,  should  be  sub- 
ject to  their  order.  That  portion  which  is  to  be  paid  to  treas- 
urers of  other  towns,  cities  or  villages  on  account  of  joint  school 
districts  should  at  the  same  time  report  to  these  officers,  although 
the  law  gives  until  June  1,  for  this  payment.  If  it  is  paid  over 
promptly  May  1,  there  need  bo  no  excuse  for  delay  in  ordering 
the  books. 

Many  complaints  have  been  made  during  the  past  year,  by 
town  treasurers,  that  they  have  not  received  the  sums  due  them 
from  the  town  treasurers  of  other  towns  in  which  there  were 
parts  of  joint  districts,  and  town  clerks  have  complained  that 
they  have  never  received  the  full  amounts  due,  for  this  reason. 
If  tlie  full  amount  is  withheld  as  required  in  each  case,  then  the 
entire  sum  will  be  available  at  once,  for  the  purchase  of  books, 
and  any  town  treasurer  neglecting  to  pay  over  such  sums  as 
may  be  due  on  account  of  the  joint  districts,  the  schoolhouses 
of  which  are  located  in  other  towns,  will  render  himself  liable, 
as  will  every  other  officer  not  complying  with  the  provisions  of 
law,  to  a  fine  of  five  hundred  dollars,  or  one  year's  imprison- 
ment, as  provided  by  section  4540-4550  of  the  Wisconsin  stat- 
utes.

Suppose  there  are  sixteen  children  of  school  age  in  the  part 
of  joint  district  in  Town  A.  Suppose  there  are  forty  children 
of  school  age  in  the  part  of  joint  district  in  Town  B,  where 
sehoolhouse  is  located.  Treasurer  of  Town  B  sets  aside  $5.60

should  immediately  transmit  to  Treasurer  of  Town  B,  $1.60. 
This  $1.60  should  be  taten  from  the  portion  of  the  school  fund 
income  which  the  town  treasurer  of  To^^^l  A  apportions  to  the 
treasurer  of  the  joint  district.  Treasurer  of  Town  A  withholds 
no  money  for  the  sixteen  children  in  that  part  of  the  joint  dis- 
trict in  Town  A,  to  be  used  by  the  town  clerk,  as  that  amount 
has  already  been  transmitted  to  the  Treasurer  of  Town  B,  and 
will  be  used  by  the  clerk  of  that  town  in  the  purchase  of  books 
for  the  district. 

To  clerks  of  towns,  villag-es,  boards  of  education  of  cities  of 
the  fourth  class,  and  secretaries  of  boards  of  school  directors  in 
towns  having  the  township  system  of  school  organization — By 
section  4S6a,  Statutes  of  1898,  as  amended  by  chapter  272 
of  the  laws  of  1899,  you  are  required  to  purchase,  between  the 
first  days  of  May  and  September  of  each  year,  books  for  the 
schools  in  your  town,  village  or  city,  selected  from  the  list  pre- 
pared by  the  state  superintendent,  to  the  amount  of  the  full 
sum  which  the  treasurer  of  your  town,  village  or  city  is  re- 
quired to  withhold  for  that  purpose.  These  books  are  to  be 
distributed  amoug  the  several  districts  in  proportion  to  the 
amount  of  money  withhold  from  each.  It  is  your  duty  under 
the  law  to  keep  a  recorel  of  books  so  purchased  and  distributed, 
in  a  book  provided  by  the  state  superintendent  for  that  purpose, 
and  for  such  seiwices  properly  performed,  you  are  entitled  to 
two  dollars  per  day,  for  each  day  actually  and  necessarily  de- 
voted thereto,  such  sum  to  be  paid  out  of  the  town,  village  or 
city  treasury,  and  not  from  the  amount  withheld  by  the  town 
treasurer  for  the  purchase  of  books.  These  books  should  be 
distril>utcd  by  you  to  the  clerks  of  the  several  districts,  unless 
you  have  been  notified  that  some  other  person  than  the  clerk 
has  been  elected  at  the  annual  meeting  as  librarian. 

It  is  made  the  duty  of  the  state  superintendent  to  prepare 
lists  of  books  for  tlio  use  of  the  officere  required  by  law  to  pur- 
cha.se  books  for  the  libraries,  from  which  these  officers,  with  such 
assistance  and  advice  as  they  may  get  from  the  county  or  city 
siipfrintr-ndent  of  schools,  as  the  case  may  bo,  shall  select  the 
books  to  1)('  jnircliasr-d.  Tt  is  illegal  to  purchase  with  the  money 
willilifld    by    tlic;   town    treasurer,   any   other   lxx>ks   than   those

given  in  the  list.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  town  treasurer  to  with- 
hold  this  money  and  have  it  subject  to  the  order  of  the  officers 
whose  duty  it  is  to  purchase  the  books,  on  May  1st.  Before 
that  day  the  new  library  list  will  be  issued,  from  which  the 
books  must  be  selected.  As  on  May  1st  the  money  is  available 
for  the  purchase  of  books,  the  proper  officers  should  at  once 
make  up  their  orders  and  secure  the  books  at  the  earliest  possible 
date,  and  at  once  distribute  them,  so  that  they  may  be  available 
for  use  before  the  school  vear  closes.  If  books  are  ordered 
early,  the  orders  can  be  more  promptly  filled  than  later  in  the 
season,  for  the  reason  that  in  many  cases  the  dealer  is  unable  to 
secure  books,  because  the  editions  have  become  exhausted,  and 
thus  is  delayed  in  filling  orders.  The  finn  selected  by  the  state 
suporintendent  to  furnish  the  books  at  prices  quoted,  is  respon- 
sible for  filling  orders  exactly  as  made.  If  for  any  reason  books 
are  not  in  stock  when  the  order  is  placed,  you  may  rest  assured 
that  the  order  will  be  filled  as  soon  as  the  lacking  books  can  be 
secured,  without  additional  expense  to  you. 

Failure  to  comply  wnth  the  requirements  of  the  law  renders 
every  officer  so  failing  liable  to  a  fine  of  five  hundred  dollars, 
or  one  year's  imprisonment,  as  provided  in  sections  4549-4550 
of  the  Wisconsin  statutes.

To  those  Charged  by  Law  with  the  Selection 
and  Purchase  of  Books. 


1.  The  following  list  contains  what  are  believed  to  be  the 
choicest  books  for  school  libraries.  In  making  selection  for 
purchases  it  is  well  to  consider  the  needs  of  each  individual 
district.  The  law  direct-s  that  the  county  superintendent  shall 
assist  the  town  clerk  in  malving  the  selections.  County  super- 
intendents should  make  it  a  point  to  get  the  advice  of  the 
teachers  and  profit  by  their  ex})erience  Avith  books  and  children. 
In  general  it  is  best  to  choose  books  that  are  certain  to  be  within 
the  capacity  of  the  greater  number  of  children.  It  is  better  to 
err  on  the  side  of  selecting  books  that  are  too  simple  than  that  of 
selecting  those  which  will  be  of  little  service  because  they  are  too 
difficult.  Make  the  selection  so  as  to  cover  as  wide  a  range  of 
subjects  as  possible  ajid  furnish  books  for  all  grades.  As  soon 
as  this  list  is  received  the  ordcM-  should  be  prepared  and  sent  in 
to  the  firm  that  is  to  su]>j)ly  the  books. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year,  the  dealer  has  the  full  list  in 
sto<'k.  ilis  contract'is  for  one  year  only  and  it  is  to  his  ad- 
vantage to  close  out  the  stook  before  the  end  of  the  year.  If 
the  ])r)oks  are  ordered  late  he  is  not  likely  to  have  them  in  stock 
ami  they  must  bo  ordered  from  I  he  publishers,  thus  causing

NOTES  ON  BOOKS. 

3.  The  notes  on  the  books  are  made  from  the  standpoint  of 
the  teacher,  and  to  aid  the  teacher  in  directing  the  reading  of 
the  pupils.  The  educational  and  ethical  values  are  pointed 
out  and  the  things  which  will  interest  pupils  are  indicated. 

GRADING. 

4.  It  is  very  difficult  to  grade  books  to  suit  all  schools. 
What  a  child  wants  to  read  depends  upon  what  he  has  read, 
what  he  is  interested  in,  and  the  work  the  teacher  does  with 
him  in  the  line  of  reading,  rather  than  upon  the  number  of 
years  he  has  attended  school.  Many  books  of  the  upper  form 
ought  to  be  read  to  children  of  the  lower  form  by  the  teacher. 
Parts  of  books  directly  in  the  line  of  children's  interests  can  be 
read  by  the  children,  when  the  entire  book  would  be  out  of  the 
question. 

SUBJECT    INDEX. 

5.  A  new  feature  of  this  year's  list  is  a  subject  index.  The 
arrangement  of  this  index  is  an  alphabetical  one,  and  under 
each  subject  are  grouped  the  references  to  books  upon  the  list 
containing  material  on  that  subject.  Each  reference  is  made 
to  the  List  number.  Author  and  Title  of  a  book  and  when  only 
a  portion  of  a  book  bears  upon  a  topic,  reference  is  also  made 
to  the  pages  of  the  books  on  which  the  topic  is  treated. 

The  intention  has  not  been  to  make  an  exhaustive  index  to  all 
the  material  in  all  of  the  books  upon  the  List.  The  purpose  is 
rather  to  make  a  suggestive  list  of  references  to  books  contain- 
ing material  valuable  for  supplementary  work. 

If  no  references  are  found  under  a  specific  subject,  it  does 
not  necessarily  mean  that  there  are  no  books  upon  the  list  con- 
taining material  on  that  subject.  For  example,  very  few  ref- 
erences are  given  on  the  subjects  "Plants"  and  "Seeds,"  but 
more  material  on  these  topics  will  be  found  in  books  referenced 
under  the  general  heading  "Botany." 

The  references  to  books  on  United  States  history  have  been 
made  by  period — United  States  History — Discovery  and  Col- 
onial; Revolution;  War  of  1812,  etc.     Reference  is  made  first 


INSTRUCTIONS  TO  SCHOOL  OFFICERS.  13 

to  all  books  of  history  and  biography  on  each  period  and  fol- 
lowing this  a  list  of  Historical  fiction  on  each  period  is  given. 

This  index  will  be  verj  helpful  to  the  teacher  searching  for 
material  to  supplement  the  regular  work  in  text-books  and  will 
also  be  suggestive  to  the  teacher  of  Library  Keading. 

The  growing  teacher  will  study  the  interests  of  her  pupils 
and  try  to  lead  tliem  from  one  line  of  reading  to  another  which 
suggests  itself  to  her  because  of  some  interest  which  she  finds 
the  boy  or  girl  has  in  some  subject  related  to  the  one  upon  which 
he  is  reading,  for  example — the  pupil  reading  Butterworth's 
story,  "In  the  days  of  Audubon,"  may  become  interested  in  the 
subject  of  Birds  and  wish  to  read  more  about  them.  The 
teacher  can  immediately  turn  to  this  index  and  find  a  list  of 
books  upon  the  subject  of  "Birds"  from  which  she  can  make 
her  selection  of  a  book  to  moot  tlic  interest  of  the  pupil.  The 
reading  of  this  book  may  so  interest  him  in  outdoor  life  that 
lie  will  enjoy  reading  a  book  which  will  give  him  descriptions 
of  other  things  in  nature  besides  birds.  In  the  index  under  the 
subject  "Nature  study,"  the  teacher  will  find  a  list  of  books 
from  which  selections  may  be  made.  Through  the  book  selected 
he  may  be  led  to  read  some  beautiful  nature  poems  or  a  book 
of  travel  containing  descriptions  of  nature — the  index  again 
suggesting  books  of  travel  and  poems.  The  index  will  help 
tlie  teacher  in  preparing  a  list  of  new  books  which  she  desires 
to  have  purchased  for  her  school.  If  she  finds  veiy  little  sup- 
l)lementary  material  in  her  library  along  some  certain  line,  the 
index  will  suggest  other  books  upon  the  Township  List  that 
contain  the  desired  material.

this  year  contain  space  for  ordering  books  as  second  choice. 
Experience  has  shown  that  it  is  better  noi  to  make  a  second 
choice.  Order  from  the  list  the  books  wanted,  and  Des  Forges  & 
Co.  will  furnish  them  as  ordered.  In  case  any  books  are  shipped 
which  are  not  ordered,  it  will  be  due  to  a  mistake  of  the  ship- 
ping clerk.  Such  books  should  be  promptly  returned  to  Des 
Forges  &  Co.  at  their  expense  and  their  attention  called  to  the 
error.  They  will  correct  the  mistake  promptly  without  further 
expense  to  the  party  ordering.

11.  Give  all  directions  for  shipping  carefully  and  plainly; 
the  postoffiee  address,  inchiding  the  county,  the  town,  village 
or  city  for  M'hich  the  books  are  ordered,  and  the  name  of  the 
station  to  which  the  bcx)ks  are  to  be  shipped.  Also  state  on 
what  line  of  railway  or  by  what  express  company  shipment  is 
t<>  be  made.  Carelessness  in  these  matters  is  sure  to  cause  much 
trouble  and  unnecessary  delay  in  getting  books. 

12.  Examine  the  record  book  carefully  to  avoid  purchasing 
for  districts  duplicates  of  books  that  have  already  been  pur- 
chased, and  whicli  it  is  not  desirable  to  duplicate. 

13.  Cliarge  freight,  express,  postage  and  exchange  to  the

The  town  clerh  who  orders  other  books  or  editions  renders  him-

librarv. 

16.  The  record  of  the  books  in  each  library  should  be  kept 
l)y  author  and  title  as  well  as  l>y  list  number,  as  the  removal

"Rhymes  and  jingles  not  only  fall  naturally  into  the  four  great 
divisions  of  mother  play,  mother  stories,  child  play,  and  child 
stories,  but  there  is  a  logical  order  in  which  each  section  may  be 
advantageously  presented  to  the  child. 

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  arrange  the  rhymes  and  jingles 
in  this  collection  so  as  to  follow  the  child's  growing  intellectual 
powers  by  beginning  each  division  with  the  more  simple  and  con- 
crete rhymes,  jingles,  and  stories,  and  gradually  advancing  to  those 
which  contain  more  complex  and  abstract  ideas." — From  Author's 
preface.

stories — Animals  and  their  doings  ;  other  children,  and  other  people

cl 30       .27 

The  material  for  these  stories  has  been  taken  from  the  great 
world  artists, — Browning,  Dante,  Goethe,  and  Wagner.  They  are 
based  on  the  snggestion  of  some  verse  or  motive,  and  are  told  in  a 
pretty,  simple  way  that  can  be  understood  by  the  youngest  child. 
These  stories  of  the  great  masters  will  introduce  the  child  to  the 
world  of  poetry  and  music  and  may  awaken  an  interest  in  the 
child,  which  will  lead  him  as  he  grows  older  to  read  such  books  as 
"Siegfried  and  Beowulf"  and  "The  Wagner  story  book." 

They  may  also  suggest  to  teachei's  how  they  may  make  use  of  the 
great  store  of  art  and  poetry.  The  illustrations  are  excellent 
copies  in  color  of  beautiful  paintings.

The  stories  are  full  of  quaint  plantation  dialect,  droll  humor,  and 
sly  wisdom.  Tho"  the  book  can  be  read  by  children  of  the  middle 
form,  many  of  the  stories  ought  to  be  read  to  the  children  of  the 
primary  form.  The  Tar  Baby  is  a  universal  favorite  with  little 
folks.  The  fun  in  many  of  the  stories  will  appeal  to  the  oldest  chil- 
dren as  well  as  to  the  youngest.

HISTORY   AND   BIOGRAPHY. 


In  this  fomi  much,  valuable  work  may  be  done  in  preparation 
for  the  formal  study  of  history.  Certain  of  our  great  heroes 
may  be  made  real  personages  to  the  children  and  an  interest  cre- 
ated in  what  they  have  done.  How  the  people,  especially  chil- 
dren, of  other  times  have  lived  is  the  best  kind  of  history.  See 
Manual,  History — Primary  and  Middle  Forms. 

The  teacher  and  children  ought  to  read  most  of  these  books 
together.  Reproducing  these  stories  will  help  in  language.

132.   [108. J    (76.)    Stories   of   American    life   and   adventure.

pany, 1895.     214  p.     il.     D.     cl 50        .43 

The  author  auuounces  three  purposes  of  the  volume,  (1)  to  make 
scliool  reading  pleasant  by  supplying  matter  simple  and  direct  in 
style,  (2)  to  cultivate  an  interest  in  narratives  of  fact  by  selecting 
chiefly  incidents  full  of  action,  (3)  but  principally  to  malie  the 
reader  acquainted  with  American  life  and  manners  in  other  times. 
Such  stories  filled  with  adventures  of  frontier  life,  daring  feats, 
and  personal  encounters  with  savages  and  wild  beasts  are  intensely 
interesting  to  the  children.  Their  personal  character  makes  real 
the  personages  in  history  and  the  sketches  of  the  homes,  the  food, 
the  dress,  the  manners,  and  the  schools,  make  real  the  life  of  the 
early  times.     Tliird  grade  children  can  read.

The  author  in  telling  tliese  stories  has  seized  upon  one  of  the 
strongest  interests  in  this  period  of  the  child's  school  life — his  in- 
terests in  the  doings  of  other  boys  and  girls — and  episodes  in  the 
boyhood  of  Franklin,  Washington,  Boone,  Washington  Irving,  Au- 
dubon, Daniel  Webster,  Longfellow,  Horace  Greeley  will  create  aii 
interest  in  the  leading  figures  in  tlie  history  of  our  country. 

It  will  surely  serve  to  excite  an  early  interest  in  our  national  his- 
tory by  giving  some  of  the  great  personages  of  that  history  a  place 
among  the  heroes  that  impress  the  susceptible  imagination  of  a 
child. — Author's  preface.

Tlie  author  in  the  preface  says,  "I  have  found  that,  when  told  to 
young  children,  these  historical  narratives  prove  a  source  of  much 
interest,  and  that  the  elementary  knowledge  then  obtained  remains 
so  clear  and  vivid  that  even  when  they  are  grown  up,  and  able  to 
enter  into  the  subject  more  thoroughly,  the  impression  of  the  story 
as  first  heard  is  the  one  which  is  most  permanent."

A  vivid  description  of  the  world's  progress  from  the  earliest  times 
to  the  present  time.  Children  of  this  grade  are  interested  in  stories 
of  other  children  and  this  interest  is  used  to  start  an  interest  in 
history,  for  each  story  is  about  a  boy  whose  life  is  typical  of  the 
life  of  his  times.  Special  prominence  should  be  given  to  the  man- 
ners and  customs.  Try  to  make  children  see  the  life.  Many  of  the 
stories  teach  moral  truths.

GEOGRAPHY. 

How  people  live,  what  they  do  for  a  liviiii^',  what  they  do 
to  amuse  themselves,  their  homes,  their  food,  their  clothing, 
ways  of  travel,  is  geography.  If  these  facts  are  grouped  about 
children  of  the  cold  countries,  of  the  hot  countries,  of  the  mount- 
ains, of  the  plains,  the  pupils  of  this  form  are  sure  to  be  inter- 
ested and  a  good  foundation  for  the  formal  study  of  geogTa- 
phy  is  being  laid.  Some  of  the  best  material  for  this  work 
is  foimd  in  liction.  The  teacher  will  find  much  which  she

of  the  forest,  and  the  "Little  Russian  Cousin,"  who  dwells  by  the

who  will  read  about  them.

SCIENCE. 

As  a  rule  children  will  not  read  these  books  for  themselvea. 
Teacher  and  pupil  must  read  together  such  portions  as  have 
become  of  interest  through  observation,  or  by  the  teachers  tell- 
ins;  of  the  facts.  The  child's  senses  are  most  active  at  this 
period,  and  it  is  by  means  of  his  senses  he  is  laying  the  founda- 
tion of  his  future  knowledge.  The  teacher  should  aim  to  make 
the  child  see  quickly  and  accurately  the  things  around  him ; 
that  is,  train  his  observation. 

All  reading  in  science  should  be  accompanied  by  observa- 
tions. The  teacher  can  get  valuable  material  for  use  in  the 
nature  lesson  from  the  science  books  in  the  other  forms.  Sec 
Manual,  Nature  lessons,  Primary  and  Middle  Forms. 

The  results  of  the  child's  observations,  and  what  lie  has 
learned,  may  be  told  in  the  langiiage  lesson.  See  ]\Ianual,

People,  and  Among  the  Meadow  People,  by  the  same  author.  The 
author  says, — "I  want  to  Introduce  the  farmyard  people  to  you, 
and  to  have  you  call  upon  them  and  become  better  acquainted  as 
soon  as  you  can.  Some  of  them  are  working  for  us,  and  we  surely 
should  know  them.  Perhaps,  too,  some  of  us  are  working  for  them, 
since  that  Is  the  way  in  this  delightful  world  of  ours,  and  one  of 
the  happiest  parts  of  life  is  helping  and  being  helped."

work  in  science.

Stories  of  nature  for  the  youngest  readers.  The  author  says, 
"Many  of  these  stories  of  field  life  were  written  for  the  little  ones 
of  my  Icindergarten,  and  they  gave  so  much  pleasure  and  aroused 
such  a  new  interest  in  tlie  'meadow  people'  that  it  seemed  wise 
to  collect  and  add  to  the  original  number  and  send  them  out  to  a 
larger  circle  of  boys  and  girls."  The  value  of  these  stories  told  to 
the  children  is  that  they  will  arouse  an  interest  in,  and  a  love  for 
nature.  The  wise  teacher  will  set  them  to  seeing  for  themselves,

50  LIST   OF  BOOKS   FOR  TOWNSHIP   LIBRARIES. 


MIDDLE  FORM  OR  INTERMEDIATE   GRADES. 


FICTION. 


The  children  should  read  these  books  through  for  the  pleasure 
the  story  gives  them.  At  the  same  time  the  teacher  should 
emphasize  high  ideals  of  character,  and  of  action.  ISTot  by 
preaching  but  by  questions  and  discussions  with  the  pupils 
which  shall  call  out  from  them  the  characters  they  like  best — 
the  lines  of  action  they  think  good.  Certain  qualities  of  fine 
characters  may  be  noted.  The  result  of  actions  good  and  bad 
discussed. 

The  stories  which  portray  life  are  invaluable  in  the  work  in 
geography.  The  descriptions  of  places,  homes,  dress,  food, 
amusements,  occupations,  religions  and  religious  ceremonies, 
schools,  transportation,  should  be  noted.  In  no  geographies 
are  there  more  graphic  and  truer  descriptions  than  in  much  of 
our  fiction.  See  Manual,  Geography — Pnmary  and  Middle 
Forms.  Fiction  dealing  as  it  does  with  characters  which  appeal 
to  the  child  makes  real  the  life  of  a  country  more  than  any 
other  form  of  literature.  If  the  child  reads  to  the  geography 
class  good  things  he  has  found  in  his  reading  which  are  on  the 
subject  and  which  are  interesting,  he  is  getting  the  best  kind  of 
practice  in  reading.  See  Manual,  Reading — Middle  Form. 
And  if  the  child  tells  what  he  has  found  accurately,  Avell  ar- 
ranged in  thought,  and  so  as  to  interest  his  classmates,  he  can  ■ 
have  no  better  practice  in  language.  See  Manual,  Language —

"Xo  kind  of  tale  has  a  tirmer  or  more  lasting  grip  iipt)n  the

Balser  Hrent,  the  youthful  hero  of  the  tale,  lives  in  Indisuia  during

Charming  stories  from  the  writings  of  George  W.  Cable  suitable 
for  children,  and  portraying  the  life  of  the  south.  In  editing  the 
volume  no  changes  have  been  made  in  the  text  except  with  Mr. 
Cable's  approval.  Too  much  can  not  be  said  in  praise  of  these  writ- 
ings of  Cable.  The  south  ceases  to  be  a  "place  on  the  map"  and  the 
child  gets  in  close  contact  with  what  is  vital  in  her  life.  "To  read 
Cable  is  to  live  in  the  South,  to  bask  in  its  sunshine,  eat  of  its 
figs  and  pomegranates,  and  dream  its  dreams.  No  other  writer  has 
so  recorded   its  pulse-beats." — Editor's  preface.

"In  Ptiasi/  Mcoic  we  have  the  latest  contribution  to  the  literature 
devoted  to  dumb  animals  of  which  'Black  Beauty,'  and  'Beauti- 
ful Joe'  are  notable  examples. 

This  little  book  is  written — as  its  name  indicates — in  behalf 
of  the  cat,  and  seeks  to  do  for  that  often  much  abused  little 
creature  what  those  two  named  books  have  done  for  the  horse  and 
the  dog.  And  Inasmuch  as  the  cat  is  so  entirely  helpless  to  defend 
herself  the  need  for  such  an  appeal  is  even  greater  in  her  case 
than  in  that  of  either  the  horse  or  the  dog.  The  book  Is  written 
in  a  spirit  of  sympathy  that  makes  the  story  a  touching  one  without 
being  sentimental.  More  cruelty*to  animals  comes  from  thoughtless- 
ness and  indifference  than  through  real  malice  and  In  the  trials 
and  tribulations  of  Piixhu  Meow  this  truth  is  forcibly  brought  out. 
The  author  also  weaves  much  useful  information  as  to  the  care  of 
the  cat  in  the  telling  of  Pussy's  story."

TATRT   STORIES,    FOLK    STOEIES,    MYTHS,    AND   LEGENDS. 

Many  of  the  children  in  tliis  form  still  enjoy  fairy  stories, 
myths,  and  legends.  They  are  valuable  as  a  means  of  training 
the  imagination ;  and  because  they  form  an  indispensable  part 
of  art  and  literature,  familiarity  with  them  will  unlock  much  in 
art  and  literature  which  otherwise  the  child  will  pass  by  because 
it  is  too  much  of  a  task  to  "look  it  up."  Here  is  good  material 
for  work  in  langiiage.     Manual,  Language — Middle  Form.

Grouping  gTeat  events  around  great  men  who  may  LeconK! 
real  persons  to  cliildrcn  is  one  of  tlie  best  ways  of  teaching  his- 
tory. That  the  man  lived  and  died  at  a  certain  time  is  not 
so  important  as  ^^'hat  kind  of  a  man  he  w^as,  what  he  did,  and 
vdiat  great  events  ho  took  i^art  in.  Aim  to  make  some  of  the

anecdotes  which  are  of  interest  to  the  child.  Make  these  lead- 
ing figures  in  history  so  familiar  to  the  child  tliat  they  become 
the  centers  around  which  much  of  his  knowledge  of  history 
may  bo  grouped.  The  child  is  in  the  susceptible  stage  in  which 
the  heroes  who  have  fired  his  imagination  will  often  become 
his  ideals  of  all  that  is  noble  and  good  and  he  will  desire  to 
share  their  experiences  and  aspirations.  See  Manual,  History — -

So  far  as  possible  help  the  child  to  arrange  his  knowledge 
so  that  proper  events  and  people,  and  events  which  grow  out 
of  each  other,  are  associated.  Help  the  child  to  admire  all

"Many  years  ago  Mrs.  M.  Chaplin  Ayrton  published  a  large  and 
costly    book    on    Child    Life    in    Japan.     Mrs.    Ayrton    was    a    grad-

uate  of  Edinburgh  University  and  had  obtained  the  degrees  of 
Bachelor  of  Letters  and  Bachelor  of  Science,  besides  studjing 
medicine  in  Taris.  Her  little  daughter  was  born  in  Japan  and 
had  a  native  nurse.  The  home  life  of  Japan  and  the  pictures 
and  stories  that  amused  the  children  in  the  "Land  of  the  Uis- 
ing  Sun"  appealed  to  Mrs.  Ayrton  especially  for  her  own  child's 
sake.  During  her  residence  in  Japan,  she  was  always  a  keen 
and  enthusiastic  student  of  the  country  and  its  people.  She 
translated  some  of  the  Japanese  tales  and  the  rest  of  her  book 
is  composed  of  her  own  studies,  picturing  with  true  and  sym- 
pathetic pen  the  quaint  life  of  old  Japan.  Dr.  W.  E.  Griffis, 
who  was  active  in  introducing  our  public  school  system  into 
Japan  and  whose  own  writings  on  things  Japanese  are  consider- 
ed authoritative,  has  made  an  interesting  compilation  from  Mrs. 
Ayrton's  book,  retaining  the  best  parts  and  reproducing  all  of 
the  pictures,  which  were  drawn  and  engraved  by  Japanese  artists." 
The  result   is   a   little   book   of   much    interest    and    value.

The  series  of  which  this  is  the  second  book  will  fui-nish  an  ex- 
cellent source  of  reference  material  to  use  to  supplement  the  out- 
line given  in  the  general  text  book  in  geography. 

The  accounts  given  in  the  average  text  of  the  leading  industries 
nf  a  country  are  short  and  inadequate.  In  these  books  they  are 
discussed  more  in  detail  in  connection  with  the  sections  of  a 
country  in  which  they  are  most   prominent. 

One  very  excellent  feature  of  these  books  is  a  selected  list  of 
references  in  the  back  of  each  volume  suggesting  further  readings 
in  geography  and  travel,  that  may  be  carried  on  to  supplement 
the  study  of  the  text.  These  reference  lists  will  be  of  great 
value  to  the  teacher.

"Everyday  Birds"  is  a  collection  of  sketches  of  a  number  of 
well-known  birds,  some  biographical,  and  others  general,  in  char- 
acter. Tlie  volume  is  an  interesting  bird-study  book,  written  in  a 
manner  to  interest  children  and  older  people  in  birds  and  bird-life. 
The  illustrations  include  twelve  colored  plates  from  Audubon — the 
first  considerable  reproduction  of  the  colored  drawings  from  the 
"Birds"  of  that  author.  Mr.  Torrey  combines  entire  scientific  ac- 
curacy with  much  literary  charm,  and  readers  of  all  ages  will  find 
it    delightfully    interesting."

A  charming  account  of  the  history  of  two  robins  in  captivity  who 
liecame  at  first  tlie  involuntary  companions  of  people,  and  whose 
affection  for  their  benefactress  made  them  unwilling  to  leave  her 
for  a  life  of  freedom.  The  story  has  been  told  by  a  bird  lover 
in  a  fascinating  manner  and  shows  the  keenest  love  and  sympathy 
for  bird  life.  It  is  a  true  robin  history  and  shows  the  character 
and    temperament   of  the   I'obin. 

The  book  is  worth  reading  as  a  study  of  bird  life  and  as  a  pleas- 
ing story.  i

"This  book  is  intended  to  stimulate  interest  in  the  study  of 
bird  life  among  young  people.  It  considers  the  many  families 
of  North  American  birds,  excluding  game  birds,  explaining  clearly 
and  succinctly  why  these  birds  are  thus  grouped  and  how  the 
families  may  be  distinguished.  The  most  prominent  and  interest- 
ing members  of  the  several  families  are  chosen  to  represent  them, 
and  personal  accounts  of  these,  their  habits  and  customs  and 
anecdotes  concerning  them,  are  given.  The  book  has  been  made 
comprehensive  by  selecting  in  a  family  an  Eastern,  a  Western, 
and  a  Southern  bird ;  or  one  bird  to  represent  the  family  in 
eases  where  that  bird  is  common  to  all  sections.  The  liook  is  thus 
made  useful  in  all  parts  of  the  United  .States,  and,  being  pro- 
fusely illustrated,  is  pictorially  interesting  as  well  as  descriptively 
valuable  in  a  study  of  the  bird  families  of  North  America.  Il- 
lustrated with  twenty-four  full-page  pictures,  eight  of  which  are 
drawn  in  color  by   Louis  Agassiz   Fuertes."

FICTION. 


'No  form  of  literature  portrays  life  and  charact-er  as  fiction 
does.  If  the  novel  portrays  life  tlie  aim  should  be  to  get  a 
clear  idea  of  the  various  things  which  go  to  make  up  the  life 
of  a  people,  occupations,  amusements,  ete.,  etc.  (See  "Fiction," 
middle  form.)  In  the  novehof  character  and  character  devel- 
opment the  characters  should  be  judged  as  characters  in  real 
life  are,  by  what  they  do,  what  they  think,  what  they  love  and 
hate,  what  their  aspirations  are,  what  they  say,  how  other  char- 
acters feel  toward  them,  what  people  say  of  them.  Actions 
should  be  judged  by  their  results  on  the  actor,  and  how  tliey 
affect  the  happiness,  well  being,  and  conduct  of  others.  If  it  is  a 
novel  of  character  development,  in  what  ways  has  the  charac- 
ter changed  ?     What  has  brought  about  these  changes  ? 

Though  the  work  in  this  form  is  essentially  the  same  as  in 
the  other  forms  (see  "Fiction,"  lower  and  middle  forms),  the 
pupils  are  better  able  to  judge  and  reason  and  should  be  re- 
quired to  be  more  definite,  and  to  form  independent 
and  more  extended  judgments.  They  should  be  asked  for 
comparisons,  and  generalizations.  Thus, — Compare  the  Sax- 
ons and  Xormans  as  portrayed  in  the  novel,  Ivanhoe.  Compare 
the  life  of  children  in  ISTew  England  as  portrayed  in  Three 
Little  Daughters  of  the  Revolution,  and  in  the  Diary  of  Anna 
Green  Winslow.  Compare  characters  of  Meg,  Beth  and  Jo  as 
portrayed  in  Little  Women. 

In  Captain  January,  the  little  girl  sacrificed  much  because 
of  her  loyalty  to  the  old  lighthouse  keeper  who  had  saved  her 
life  and  cared  for  her.  The  results  of  that  action  showed  it  is 
noble  to  be  loyal.

In  storv  of  Sonny  Sahib,  Sonnv  wonld  not  betray  the  Maha- 
rajah to  the  English  even  at  the  risk  of  losing  his  o\vn  life  be'- 
canse  the  Maharajah  had  saved  liis  life  and  befriended  him. 
The  resnlts  showed  the  nobilitv  of  loyalty. 

In  Little  Jarvis,  Jarvis  gave  his  life  on  aeeonnt  of  liis  loyalty 
to  dnty. 

After  reading  these  stories  \]io  jnipils  readily  make  the  gen- 
eralization— it  is  noble  to  be  loyal.  Again,  in  the  novel  Silas 
Marner,  each  time  tliat  Silas  Marner  selfishly  loves  and  gives 
his  whole  ener2:v  to  what  is  iciioble  he  becomes  like  the  thino' 
he  loves.  It  is  not  nntil  he  loves  a  little  child  nnselfishly  that 
he  begins  to  groAv  to  be  a  good  man.  The  generalization  from 
that  novel  is,  "If  a  man  loves  that  which  is  noble  it  will  maka. 
him  noble.  If  his  affection  is  centered  on  an  igTiobte  thing,  it 
will  make  him  ignoble." 

An  opportnnity  for  tlic  (diildren  to  express  their  thonghts 
on  wliat  tliey  are  inforestod  in  is  tlie  best  kind  of  language 
teaching.

"A  party  of  boy  friends,  residing  in  a  hill  town  of  south-western 
Virginia,  undertake  a  contract  to  supply  to  a  new  railroad  company 
a  certain  amount  of  logs  for  railroad  ties,  to  be  cut  on  the  prop- 
erty of  the  motlier  of  two  of  the  boys,  on  one  of  the  "high 
mountains"  of  Virginia.  They  spend  the  winter  at  this  work, 
building  their  log  home  on  the  mountain  top,  and  calling  it  Camp 
Venture.  The  boys  are  all  strong,  sturdy,  and  reliable  young  fel- 
lows, who  know  what  they  are  about.  They  have,  as  companion,  a 
young  doctor  who  joins  them  for  his  health,  and  is  a  hoy  with 
fhem,  sharing  their  labors,  their  dangers,  and  their  successes. 
These  dangers,  especially  from  the  Moonshiners  of  tlie  mountains, 
form  a  prominent  part  of  the  tale ;  and  their  experiences  with 
them,  and  with"  the  revenue  officers  and  soldiers  who  invade  the 
mountain  region  about  Tamp  Venture,  are  full  of  exciting  interest. 
How  the  bovs  succeed  in  spite  of  privations  and  discouragements,

pected success,  is  capitally  told  by  Mr.  Eggleston  in  his  very  in-

"In  this  as  in  the  two  preceding  volumes  of  the  series, — "The 
Half-Back"  and  "For  the  honor  of  the  school" — an  attempt  is  made 
to  show  that  athletics  rightly  indulged  in  is  beneficial  to  the  aver- 
age boy  and  is  an  aid  rather  than  a  detriment  to  study.  In  it,  a 
plea  is  made  for  honesty  and  simplicity  in  sports."  From  the  In- 
troduction. 

This  series  of  books  contain  many  interesting  anecdotes  of  school 
life  and  the  boys  in  the  story  ai'e  typical  American  boys,  just  such 
as  we  find  in  our  schools  today.  Boys  will  enjoy  these  stories  be-

But   in    "The    Heart   of   the   Ancient    Wood"    there    is    a     problem 
drama.     The   imagination    is    subtler    than    in    the   adventures    of 
Mowgli ;  the  reportorial  correctness  is  as  unimpeachable  as  in  the 
biography  of  Wahb  ;  and  in  addition  there  is  the  fact  of  a  master 
novelist  turning  to  the  unfathomed  sympathies  and  dramatic  possi- 
bilities of  the   relation   of   the   human   to   the   animal   as   seriously

This  volume  of  stories  gives  the  views  which  Mr.  Ensign  took  of 
the  duties  of  a  human  being  to  the  dumb  animals  who  are  de- 
pendent on  him  and  who  cannot  express  in  words  their  needs. 
During  his  life  the  author  devoted  himself  actively  to  the  cause  of 
humanity  toward  domestic  animals. 

The  reading  of  such  sketches  as  "Lady  Lee"  and  "My  friend  the 
elephant"  will  inspire  one  to  do  all  within  his  power  toward  the 
protection  of  animals  against  ill-treatment. 

The  book  contains  many  admirable  illustrations  and  children  will 
be  intensely  interested  in  it. 

It  is  an  excellent  book  for  the  teacher  to  read  to  the  school  and

reason  for  failure  and  discouragement."

The  series  of  which  tliis  is  the  third  book  will  furnish  an  ex- 
cellent source  of  reference  material  to  use  to  supplement  the  out-  \ 
line  given  in  the  general  text  book  in  geography.  The  accounts  j 
given  in  the  average  text  of  the  leading  industries  of  a  country  j 
are  short  and  inadequate.  In  these  books  they  are  discussed  more  j 
in  detail  In  connection  with  the  sections  of  a  country  in  which  they 
are  most  prominent. 

One  very  excellent  feature  of  the  books  is  a  selected  list  of 
references  in  the  back  of  each  volume  suggesting  further  readings 
in  geography  and  travel  that  may  be  carried  on  in  connection 
with  the  study  of  the  text. 

Tliese  reference  lists  will  be  of  great  value  to  the  teachei-.

601.  Animals  in  action:  studies  and  stories  of  beasts,

"The  most  of  the  illustrated  books  about  animals  picture  them  in 
repose,  or  as  seen  in  captivity.  The  chief  feature  of  the  illus- 
trations in  this  book  is  that  the  artist  who  has  drawn  the  most 
of  them,  the  noted  German  animal  artist  Specht,  studied  his  sub- 
jects in  their  own  haunts  and  homes,  and  has  presented  them  in  ac- 
tion and  the  fierce  struggle  for  life  rather  than  in  the  enforced 
listlessness  of  captivity.  The  nature  of  wild  animals  being  wild, 
the  drawings  by  Specht  naturally  lean  toward  personal  conflict  and 
the  rivalries  of  the  jungle,  the  desert,  and  the  forest ;  but  he  is 
true  to  nature,  and  correct  in  presentation.  The  text  accompany- 
ing the  illustrations  is  most  of  it  adapted  from  the  German  of 
Brahm.  the  best  living  authoritiy  on  natural  history."

"In  my  previous  books  I  have  tried  to  emphasize  our  kinship 
with  the  animals  by  showing  that  in  them  we  can  find  the  vir- 
tues most  admired  in  man.  Lobo  stands  for  dignity  and  love-con- 
stancy ;  Silverspot,  for  sagacity  ;  Redruff,  for  obedience.  In  this 
volume.  Majesty,  Grace,  the  power  of  Wisdom,  the  sweet  uses  of 
adversity,  and  the  two-edged  sorrows  of  rebellion  are  similarly 
set  forth.  The  material  of  the  accounts  is  true.  The  chief  liberty 
taken,  is  in  ascribing  to  one  animal  the  adventures  of  several." — ■

This  book  is  most  beautifully  illustrated,  and  is  put  on  the  list 
because  of  its  artistic  value  as  well  as  on  account  of  the  interest- 
ing and  true  stories  of  animals.  "Such  a  collection  of  histories 
naturally  suggest  a  common  thought — a  moral  it  would  have  been 
called  in  the  last  century.  No  doubt  each  different  mind  will  find 
a  moral  to  its  taste,  but  I  hope  some  will  herein  find  emphasized 
a  moral  as  old  as  Scripture — we  and  the  beasts  are  kin." — From 
Author's  Preface. 

No  more  entertaining  stories  of  wild  animals  have  ever  been 
written.  Deeper  than  the  mere  story  lies  a  truth  which  links  man 
to  the  brute  and  appeals  to  that  sense  of  kinship  in  the  brother- 
hood of  all  living  things  created. — From  "The  Bookman." 


644.  [466.]  (406.)  Wild  neighbors;  outdoor  studies  in  the

POETRY. 


As  a  rule  poetry  will  not  be  read  by  the  children  unless  tbe 
teacher  creates  a  love  for  poetry  by  reading  it  to  them.  Often 
they  cannot  call  the  words  readily  enough  to  get  the  swing  of  the 
music  which  is  one  of  the  greatest  charms  of  poetry  for  children. 
In  selecting  poetry  to  be  read  to  the  pupils  follow  their  present 
interests  and  awaken  new  ones.  Children  are  always  inter- 
ested in  a  story  and  there  are  many  fine  narrative  poems.  The 
story  may  form  a  starting  point  for  creating  an  interest  in  poe- 
try. Interests  created  by  the  various  holidays,  the  seasons,  and 
observations  of  nature  may  be  deepened  by  beautiful  poems. 
Help  the  child  to  see  the  beautiful  pictures  in  poetry  and  to 
compare  them  with  the  real  pictures  so  far  as  possible.  Thus 
after  a  beautiful  sunset  a  beautiful  description  of  a  sunset  by  a 
poet  will  interest  the  children.  Let  them  see  how  nearly  the 
poet's  description  pictures  the  sunset  they  saw.  At  the  same 
time  that  they  are  gaining  a  love  for  poetry  a  love  for  nature 
may  be  created. 

Encourage  the  pupils  to  memorize  the  bits  of  poetry  which 
tTiey  like  best. 

'No  work  in  the  schoolroom  is  jiroductive  of  better  results  in 
forming  a  taste  for  good  reading,  creating  a  love  for  the  beauti- 
ful, and  developing  pennanent  and  ennobling  interests.

tion to  the  art  of  basket-making,  with  the  result  that  basketry

among  grown  people  as  well.  This  little  manual  is  the  only 
guide  to  the  work.  Miss  White  describes  in  detail  the  few  nec- 
essary implements  and  materials,  and  then  tells  how  to  weave,

the  complicated  and  beautiful  work  for  which  the  Indians  were 
once  famous,  but  which  is  now  rapidly  becoming  a  lost  art."

Although  the  scope  of  the  earlier  volumes  of  this  series  is  quite 
comprehensive,  including  in  the  first  volume  physics,  mechanics, 
and  physiology,  and  in  the  second  geography,  biography,  and  his- 
tory it  has  been  suggested  by  teachers  and  critics  that  the  aes- 
thetic side  of  cyclopaedic  literature  has  been  in  a  measure  neglected. 
To  fill  this  suggested  want  and  to  hplp  to  round  out  the  series 
Into  a  complete  cyclopaedia,  the  "Young  folk's  cyclopaedia  of  lit- 
erature and  art"  has  been  prepared.  Its  aim  is  to  give  a  brief 
account  of  the  acknowledged  masterpieces  in  literature  and  in  art, 
the  latter  term  being  understood  to  include  architecture,  sculp- 
ture, painting  and  music.

745.  As  the  twig  is  bent:   a  story  for  mothers  and  teach- 
ers.    Susan  Chenery.     Best.,  Houghton,  Mifflin  & 
Co.,  1901.     164  p.     D.     cl 1 .  00       .90 

This  is  called  "a  story  for  mothers  and  teachers."  It  is  a  book 
upon  theoretical  discipline,  with  practical  illustrations  that  in 
many  cases  bear  the  test  of  genuine  experience.  For  the  most 
part,  the  practical  side  very  considerably  balances  against  the 
theoretical,  and  mothers  or  teachers  reading  the  book  will  find 
many  a  helpful  suggestion  right  to  the  point.  The  book  bears  di- 
rectly upon  the  influence  of  discipline,  and  the  methods  sug- 
gested are  to  bring  that  influence  about.  That  is,  of  course, 
the  first  principle  in  directing  the  life  of  a  child,  whether  at  home 
or  in  school.  The  book  is  written  from  a  high  standard,  with 
an  understanding  of  little  children,  and  in  a  familiar  style,  as 
if  the  author  sat  down  to  talk  things  over  with  you.  It  is 
attractive  and  helpful.

This  book  was  written  by  a  mother  and  relates  her  actual  ex- 
perience with  her  four  little  ones.  It  should  be  read  by  every 
kindergartner  and  primary  teacher  and  will  be  of  value  to  all  who 
are  making  a  study  of  children  from  either  a  scientific  or  human- 
itarian point  of  view.  Its  purpose  is  both  to  awaken  sympathy  and 
to  inform.  It  pleads  for  justice  to  children  by  exhibiting  some 
phases  of  the  strength   and  the  weakness   of  child  nature.

PERIODICALS. 


Whenever  ai\j  of  tlie  periodicals  given  below  have  been  used 
in  the  schools  they  have  joiven  excellent  satisfaction.  Papers 
filled  with  trashy  stories  and  vicious  pictures  are  constantly 
being  freely  circulated  among  boys  and  girls.  The  most  certain 
preventive  against  power  for  harm  in  bad  periodicals  is  access 
to  good  ones.  The  j)apers,  too,  may  be  made  very  serviceable 
as  aids  in  the  preparation  of  lovssons  and  in  the  recitation.
